Reflections dance here and there
across the waters pure
luring thoughts to once was love
of a butterfly
capricious in mood
…so flighty.
Love never says goodbye.
Passion showed in the reddest
red glow of heart’s and soul’s
on fire
every word and every line
a flame of deep desire.
But,
hunger grows a chasm
a great divide
words now relegated to a
place of shrugged indifference
and, what of joy and sorrow
each a part of yesterday
(God grant there’ll be a tomorrow)
to get it right, again.
To ride the crest of waves
turn circles in a sea of air
watch lips open
… expectant
while petals await their first kiss of dew
to present them as gifts
from the heart
bequeathed as tears of a rose.
