Immortal love February 10, 2014

 

I wonder what it is she did

Before she found love,

If not this time, then

The times before that

Stretching back to that first time

Was she merely engaged

In simple pleasures

A sleeper who did not wake

Until the sun rose and cast

Its light on her bed

Where it came upon

Two bodies entwined

That moment in the sun

When she woke to find

A thief had stolen her heart,

And would not return it,

Even now, even as her world

Crumbles and she’s force

To move on,

But to where, which direction,

Does she had a map to guide her

To some other life,

Some other love

That will fill the space

This love created when

It vacated her,

Does she still see his shape

On the distance wave

Like a sailor’s widow

Calling for his return,

Plain hears, immortal

Her love and his,

Still bound together

Even when their bodies are not
