And Never Have Been Loved

and never have been loved

she would bath
in the tears of 
the Angels

and dance in
the moonlight

she wrote poetry
on the fallen leaves

set them a drift 
in a flowing brook

she would sing 
her lyrics into
the wind

for she believed
love would carry
her songs

to the one for
whom she was
betrothed

and written
within the lines
scrolled upon leaves

a message only
her betrothed
would know

and on moonlight night
when the wind is right

lovers will hear a duet 

and will dance in the moonlight

and if you have never heard
their song in the wind

then you only 
dream of love

and never have been loved
