what she sought



like smoke that will drift

like dying blossoms that were a gift

she shoulders another’s crimes into descent

long still night of winters lament


 

the knowledge of this hour

as life’s sweetness turns sour

beautiful visions in her slumber

they are fragile in their number


 

small hands reach for that treasure

little or no rapture to scarce to measure

this tough life leaves her feeling so week

as a single tear rolls down her cheek


 

still she trembles at the thought

it was only true love that she sought



she shivers

at the thought



a one and only true love


is what she sought
