MY LOVE, MY AFFECTION, AND ME

Fear not; no pain could ever kill

The ‘me’ within, the one filled with you

It would only wear down my dreams and my body.

 

Though those green eyes may overlook this frail frame,

One day, surely, they will remember me.

 

My scent drifts in on the blowing wind

It mingles with the dew upon the leaves, oh, my beloved

And my breath blends into the falling rain.

 

Even as loves whistle, having lost their shades of blue…

What did we really know, anyway? If you wish, come now, go ahead and smile…
