Uncompensated Loss
UNCOMPENSATED LOSS
I am crying because I dropped the posy
down a storm drain, gone forever
‘Precious gem of a lover.’
It was the first gift from my love Rosy.
Soft shy tongue could not voice her feelings.
I boldly approached to propose
She hesitated to come close.
Only the posy was her offerings.
I was charmed, honored but failed to preserve
the gift of her suppressed pleasure,
my most valuable treasure.
Now stormy rainy night just to observe.
