No Life To Live If No Love To Give

Deplete, I am, of selfless love
My heart has none, no none to give
Yet, remorse I feel of love now gone
For upon love’s death, I shall not live

Without a love to then bequeath
To earth, these bones descend beneath

If one would fill these hollowed walls
The chambers bare, where love resides
I then shall live and to give, I shall
Of all the love, then felt inside

My heart rejoices, no more deplete
That absence then, fell to defeat

* this beautiful verse has the sweetened quality of * leading one gently through the corridores unto * the enchanting moments of a voice amid the centuries gone by when * the world was more serene and one could reach deeply into * “The Still Waters to Find Such Love” * hugs and kisses * kisses and hugs * sarah
