1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Forboding Disenchantment

Come I slowly toward her eyes
With subject torture to my head
I graze a thought, she stifles naught
This feeling's one I did dread

No more her eyes enrapture mine
No more her hair shines in my view
No more the bind that ties us so
No more the love I thought I knew

Darling say I fools are great
I know not what has befallen me
Disenchantment crawls among my mind
My heart betrays, no more I see

If you, my sweet, still hold me dear
Then disenchant your love, and shun
Do not overbear me, plight my soul
My heart feels sad, but love there's none

1971
