This is a poem written by my only poetic friend the late Lee Man Hee. He wrote this personally for me with the goodness of his heart when i was feeling the worst.....There was none other to my opinion that could match my thoughts of writing than Lee Man Hee,and so he was my only friend when it came to poems and Shakespears and Pablo Neruda! 'With this, I want to honour our times together, Man Hee, times that you helped me get over the love that I lost.....but I can do nothing but vent my anger on that love because you were there for me when I lost my love.....but my love is not here when I lose you.....'

POET'S LOVE

 by Lee Man Hee

 

A story of a poet's love

That she sworns

Sent from the heavens above

But now apart, with painful remorse

 

Once believed in her lover’s eyes

Once believed in the lover’s words

Now she sees they were lies

Her heart, stabbed by his swords

 

A match heaven made

Now a match that dwells in shame

Yet in the memories that wouldn't fade

Her love to him burns in blazing flame

 

The moon, the star

The cloud, the sun

So near and yet so far

A love now is two that was one

 

And as time passes by

Believe not, of his words that tell you of his love so true

Look at the sky

Remember and forget, and know that he will cry,'cause he’s not with you
