A Tepid Symbol of Love

Dying plants in a malformed heart shape A tepid symbol of love Truth robbed by innocence Show a dying man stretching his hand from deaths embrace to rest upon hers The tears of the strongest will unable to quell the torrents of their loss The smile shared at bedtime before sleeps interruption That tender kiss that promises a return That sigh we exude when we think of her That fury turned on god and nature when she leaves the earth Her hug that halts your fears That shine within her eyes that comforts the universe Those words that as a child were never given or understood, from her can stop all time and space The touch of her hand that finally makes you one Truth so true And life finally lived
