ACUTE PUNCTURE
Another love proposal has met a refusal. My heart is speared, and my soul isn't spared.
I'm drunk with pain, my spirit is stained. Sadness keeps rejoicing, while death seems enticing.
All nights long of wooing have met with booing. I'm back into my shell.... these lines can boldly tell.
A man that is single is like a one-wing eagle. He might see as far, but lack the means to soar.
A soul without a wife, cuts deeper than a knife. He has to lay his head on a thorny, single bed.
An unmarried man is a domestic lion. And a single lady is a roaring chicken.
My sincere love proposal has met a refusal. This is an acute puncture, my tongue is starved of moisture.
