Leaves
         Fall
Softly,
         Slowly,
      (like)
Gentle
               Whispers

The Wind

Is love to you

what it is to me?

Does it possess you

and arrest you—

or does it hush and soothe

you restless soul?

Does it make you sigh

for a Valentine

when you long, alone,

for pretty things?

Does it drive you wild

(to a point past beguile)

and throw to the wind

your modesty?

Or does it open your eyes

and clarify

what you were always

too blind

to seek?

I do not pretend
to comprehend
The eccentricities
of
heart
you
send.
I find it fruitless to even try.

And though your eyes
do seem to pry,
I beg you please
to
quell
your
mind:
My thoughts are not for you to spend.

How I wish for us
to share in trust
Before our
bodies
turn
to
dust,
but find betrayal more a force:

Should we divorce
our desired course—
through time,
or fate,
or even
worse—
Please understand why part we must.
