Love is a complex weaving
of music and lyrics
that play upon the heart
like the lingering fragrance
of memories winding like rivers
through the shadows of the past
more beautiful on reflection
than reality recalls
drifting weightless
in the dissonant shallows
and the endless depths
of my songs of sorrow
like petals bending
under the weight of the dew
I feel the weight
of the absence of you
