Lonely Lee Leaned Against The Railings Poem by Ravi Kopra

Lonely Lee Leaned Against The Railings



Lonely Lee leaned against the railings
The green mountains were in the distance
King butterflies flitted together in the air
The fragrant grass was so very luxuriant
Candles flickered in the the straw roofed hut
But Lee was in the gloomy mood
His wife had left him for good
He missed her soft body in bed at nights
He missed her golden voice, her tender beauty
He would rush early in the morning to his in-laws house
Beg her to be back to be his lonely hut
Ask for forgiveness when he bitched at her being damn drunk.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Inspired by

無題三

欄杆獨倚青山遠
蝴蝶共飛芳草萋
何處春風情繾綣
舊時燭影意離迷


No Title III

Lonely leaned against the railing
the green mountains distant
Butterflies flew together
the fragrant grass luxuriant
Shadows of candles in the old time
the moods blurred
Where was the spring breeze
the feelings tender
