Water Lily Pond

Water Lily Pond

I was to meet her
on the arched bridge
at a quarter past three

As water lilies softly floated,
the day's magnificence
mesmerized me

I didn't see her looking for me
I wonder if she waited long
So lost was I to the lily pond
and the frogs lonely song

I missed my chance of kissing
her underneath the willow tree
and now I sit alone by the lily pond
for she won't even talk to me...
