love smells strange
the aura of atrophe perhaps
yet it does not have to be so
love speaks softly
not of immeasurable truths
but more so of
moments stepped over
so foolishly
by a too hasty heart
love forms gently
a fonder closeness
even without the bonds of the physical
oh how indeed then
must love love
so blithely and without qualm
why, I've wondered this a thousand times
beyond too many
for there are grains of truth in every tale
mon beloved
sweet sweet love
such lovely reality
slayer of all good myth
sweet eternal sigh
in love
that is my eyes' truth........
