Loves Relic
an ode to unrequited love
a stolen glance, a wayward kiss
my heart still bleeds......a wound
i gather strength from memories
small clarities at noon
a fool, i go on letting none abate
despite its leaving so soon
~
but then.....my love, where are the smiles
that once burst from our souls?
there are no more to flaunt and beguile
the pretty masks to lose control
~
so enjoy the wetness of love and youth
of fool's desire ; and hearts of gold ;
the years will soon smooth the rough
when perhaps we all grow old
~
so tearfully i speak the last
like scathing glass that fades ;
no more red left in a heart so sweet
my eyes burn with sad, silent rage
~
the rigid line of faith succumbs
twists contorted and askew
i will myself to keep on and move
before colors permanently change hue
~
in time i shall soon harvest
my hearts wine so full of wrath
i will bless it drop by drop
in my own crimson barbed cup
~
chalice emblazoned with fire
and so painstakingly carved
once upon a young time
by my loving once starved
