LOVE\'S CYCLE

 

 

LOVE’S CYCLE 

 

The sequence of expressed desire

from seeds of love’s lucidity

in growth uncut and vigorous

and toiling with full confidence

a tower built in passions form.

 

As petals fall in time relaxed

the stringency of lost desire

displaces mortar, brick and stone

as stubble marks the harvest reaped

in memory of love foregone.
