The Constancy Of Love

For some love’s pluck will last to the end

of life whether desired or not

To my surprise I found it does not lend

karma but does add to life’s tot

 

Searching I found a love that did transcend

The world was a rose cerise

We were lonely lost souls seeking a friend

and thought we had found peace

 

In our years as one I swooned in pleasure

I saw things in her I dreamed

angels kept worth far more than treasure

But her love was not what it seemed

 

I don’t know if she loved me from the start

Perhaps a purge of a past hell

thinking she was feeling within her heart

Until this day I cannot tell

 

Was my love true? Eros surely concurs,

she was the grand love of my life

I want to hate her but my heart demurs

The thought stabs me with a hot knife
