Forever In My Heart

Love is a painting, daubed,
perchance on someone’s heart
A folly when it flutters,
a mystery dank and dark.

Romance is mostly happenstance
whispers wafting in the night,
What if’s - floating yesterdays 
never quite in sight.

Love paints a heart with madness,
bright colors lined in black
But always adds a tree -lined road,
forever winding back.
