Love lost spreads frost where once was light,
Or rime which rhyme's frieze turns to freeze,
Vista's visa parodies
Enchantment, past of pure delight.
Lovelorn, wings shorn, heart feels bite
Of cold, sold short, caught in unease
Scorning romance's fallacies,
Turning yearning into spite.
Love lost with bitterness agrees,
Or poison for bit, biter, bite
Venom self-destructive quite,
Eden expels, discards hope's keys.
LOst should be found as founding faith
STorm weathering, not wasted wraith.

Ahhh...the perfect storm. Hmmm...I believe love can never truly be lost, my Friend. Infatuation, yes; love, no. Love is a state of grace, a state of being. Love is the lightning in a deep, dark sky ~ the rain which comes, nurturing the wounds & wildness of the earth into eternal bloom. Lovely, dear Scribe. My favorite shade of blue.
