Love

 
(For the fragile in spirit)
 
Love hangs
like a gossamer
from a rainbow
in the sky
 
if only
words
could fly!
 
sunsets reek
of butterflies
amber leaves
look like wings
 
and I think
somewhere
nigh
a nightingale
sings
 
the day is
spread
like honey
slow seeping
from a jar
 
emphatically sunny
and things
are up to
par
 
*
 
I cannot see
your love
light
and barely
feel
the pain
 
perhaps this
summer madness
will not
come back
again?
 
*
 
Though I winter
in my
solitude
 
trying hard
not to
cry
 
and the
seasons whisper
farvel
 
fond lover
say
goodbye!
 
I remain lost
in languor
still
 
just don’t
ask
me why
 

for matters not
what I do
whether I live
or die
 
*
 

Love hangs
like a gossamer
my own
rainbow
in the sky
 
scattering my
kisses
like petalled
wings that
fly
