I wrote for you all night long
An amorous billet-doux
Unveiling my maiden heart
To protest my love for you.
Mon amour, muse, god too
Yes you, who I worship like a mad priest…
Roses have lost their colour
Larks, their voice incarnate a beast
Days no longer are cheerful
My world, sans you, is deceased.
Oh love, azure eyed love, alack
Your blue is icy and frozen
Voice, a blazing trail of lust
Turning hearts to ashes and dust.
Adieu, adieu, I fear, so adieu…
To survive your frost and your flame
I wrote for you a billet-doux last night
And tore to bits upon the dawn of light.
Wow! Where have you been hiding? This is truly fabulous. The tone, your choice of words, absolutely amazing. Well done!

Only when one hides can one be found, no?
I wonder how Rob celebrated today’s occasion, in the faraway land of his…

I loved how you correlated blue eyes with the days not being cheerful! You disguised them so well in two separate lines. It’s beautiful. ❤

You inspire me, dear Kanika. The love you give, whether it is for a person or the love you put into your works of art, sets my heart on fire. If you had a super power it would be the ability to teach a loveless world to love again.
