A Fled Love
When I kissed your lips this morning,
It tasted bitter and sour like a chicory,
How did sweetness flee its borders
Or has bitter seed been sown into its belly?
When I whispered love into your ear,
I found it deaf for God knows how long,
Its music no longer sways a single leg,
And its spark on your face brought no fire.
When I cuddled you close to my heart,
Your heartbeats were regularly irregular,
The coldness of your warmth froze like rime,
And the blood it pumps is laced with bile.
So love can flow like a river tumbling downhill,
That has a forward but no backward flow?
So love can be whispered with a muffled echo
That's spoken into the air and filled with silence?
