Love's Lost and Found





Shall I say what I feel today?

allow words of decadence

to flow onto this paper

written in cadence

to visions rhyme

flowing like blood

from heart

to mind?





Once written in time

shadows of their own

design

grip this paper

with constant

remind

of the cost

of love lost

never to be found





The writing

like the soul

becomes isolated

to them that know

its parchment

like the author

echoes the heart

unto its self





For there it is written

loves final draft

for the reader

to wonder

whether cry, or laugh

only the inner emotion

knows trepidation

final interpretation

lies waiting...in your mind
