Patience of Love

Tell me those lies
you alone can tell
with that spark in your eyes
as accompanying jest
I’ll take the mirage
of love my friend
hide in a smile 
the pain
of a heart lacerated 
by claws
hidden in softness 
of paws
                               Trust me it’s love

Autumn tears
falling
open wounds 
washing
with sunset leaves
covering
snow gauze softness
capping
from clawing wind
protecting
in arms of love  
resting
                               Trust me it’s love
Sun rays peaking
then hiding
through breeze blown 
curtains inviting
to flowering branch
where hiding
love bird is singing
and waiting
for heart to get drunk 
on sunlight
dreaming of paradise
awaiting

                                Trust me it’s love
 
Pearly moon light
paleness
pupils seem to vanish
from eyes
reversing night sky
into an expanse
of serene blue light
breezy spring scent
inebriating
music of stars 
serenading two hearts
circling around each other
                                         Forever in love

This washes like a classic old song and actually could be with some creative jazz melody nicely portrayed.
