Love

When the Gods
Speak of Love
They speak of life
And her truth and magic

When a couple
Speaks of Love
They share in life
And shape themselves by it

When a woman
Speaks of Love
She looks on life
With heart and hope romantic

When I, a man
Think of Love
I remember You
Life's beautiful creature

Your playful eyes
Lips of subtle poetry
Your loving heart
How they quietly inspire

Alas, these thoughts
Memories and dreams
They haunt this quiet
These spaces in between

Until Love's coming
When you again shall light
This soul and leave no mark
But a lingering kiss within
