Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Love me, love me not (a qasida)
Love me, love me not

Dandelion clocks enticed
the child: let go and fly

to where another child smiled back.
Would you love me? Could I?

No answer came. We turned away.
We did our chores, too shy,

then slogged through years of working,
forever asking, why?

As thinning hair and aches and pains
now beg a nap they sigh,

May my parting lips praise he
who'll hold me as I die.

Kåre Enga (26.february.2020)

A qasida for: "Invalid Item" Open in new Window., round 65.
