Love

[peter danielsen]

You meet her on a summer day
her dress is white, it curls and sway
as daylight make her smile so bright
you realize that this is right

You ask her if she wants to go
and watch the sun fall down and glow
as rays into the darkness slip
she smiles and gently kiss your lip

You buy her flowers, write her songs
you place your love where it belongs
as stars are pouring out their light
you bathe with her all through the night

The years go by you loose your grip
essential love becomes a clip
you try so hard to navigate
but find your boat is getting late

You argue that you've done your best
but feel that you did fail the test
you see her sad and know the cause
she wanted love, you gave her loss

Then anger burns within your heart
but sorrow doesn't stay apart
*and in the end all else a mess
still mesmerized by soft caress*

[lizzytysh]

An interesting, albeit sad, transition that your poem of lightness makes, returning at the end to the most basic truth of tenderness.
