like...........
a love letter without any
endearing words
a poem without its proper expression
a song without a memorable sound
a life without any fresh breath of air
or flowers to pick
or trees to climb
or dogs to love
where would I
where possibly could I be
a body without skin
a heart without blood
a thought without meaning
nor purpose of any kind
the earth without sun light
a marvelous being of pure light
'the soul'
without love
what an enormous sadness
that indeed would be
by now
Don't you understand
you
my irreplacable you
are everything to me
God himself surely would not
could not
forfeit such jealousy.............
