Once There Was a Love

Once there was a love, Bright like the summer sky, Dazzling like crystals under the sun's light, Encompassing like the waves of the sea. Once there was a love, A zephyr of loveliness and devotion, A garden of nature beauties, A room of precious ornaments. Once there was a love, That’s gone with the winds, Never to come back again, Since you left my embrace. Once there was a love, That stood beside me, Now I’m lonely and alone, Wondering where I've gone wrong. Once there was a love, The essence of my happiness, The prop of my right footings, Now I’m disheveled and despondent. Once there was a love, I'd want to come back again, Walk through my door, And take its permanent residence. October 27, 2022.
