Oppositions

NATURE
Sunflowers they bloom, heralding summer,
But my heart’s blossom, all year round do preen.
Deciduous the tree, that sheds in winter,
My love all seasons, remain evergreen 




CLEAN BREAK
The patina of your presence lingers. 
The miasma of your essence stays,
Long after my skin felt your soft fingers.
Your sudden leaving knocked me like a mace.

- In celebration of the female psyche, which leaves men cheering as they die  :o)

Yet, we not know we die. This is a great write! Love how you make reference to the love being undying and unchanging as compared to nature. Wonderful write. Michael
