Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

If Love Had A Thousand Faces

Quote by M Rose: If love had a thousand faces they'd all look like yours 
Your visage is what I'd seek first in my lost and found box.  

I'd feel for the corners of my box with nimble fingers 
eyes closed I'd  brail  the contours of your missing face
like a schoolchild pining for a spark of self esteem, I'd linger 
on words last spoken, before you faded out of place 

If love had a thousand faces I'd see only yours for all eternity 
lost in a sea of despair, I'd search for you far and wide 
like a mother craving for a child's return, I'd scour the city 
rummaging the streets, looking in places you could never hide 

If love had a thousand faces I would never look for anything new,     
I'd take delight in the likes of you and only you.
