And So I Cried

I send you flowers by the drove 
and all my fantasies 
My heart beat in a steady rove  
and all my love;
You opted to postpone me love ,   
your sweet affection 
was denied, and so I cried; 
While all the flowers in my grove
dried up and died,  
I gathered up my words 
and all my fantasies 
and took them  home.

Rather leave the desert than have dreams and fantasies blistered by its sun...

Sadness seems to be a constant shadow of love, though the greatest feeling in the world, when loves leaves it can be devastating. Very nicely penned
