ON LOVE
Jun 3, 2021
The lark sings sweetly
to the melodic dawning sunrise
of a new union
Devotion blooms
in the spring of intimacy
Passion ignites
and the flame of ecstasy
burns bright . . .
And dwindles
to smoldering embers
Retreating to the distance
the vibrant love flower
withers and fades
as winter’s chilled winds
cover the defeated heart
And the nightingale solemnly chants
a remorseful discord
to the approaching dusk
