Where Went Love ?
Where went that secret Spring of love ?
Those falling torrents of sudden
laughter when Summer-dry scuffles left
sand in ham sandwiches and shy toes
touched toes with coupled intention,
*
where twilight saw exciting dares,
like racing to be first in ocean cover
stripped for skinny-dip kissing
and more made our Autumn such fun.
Where went those vows never to part ?
We aimed to make love forever
before cold Winter goodbyes started
an unforeseeable chain of events
that broke belief in faithful hearts.
