When Love Dies

No stranger to amorous encounters Knocked over furniture, clothes here and there Perspiring with anxiously pounding hearts Anticipation of this torrid affair Disappointing temporary distractions Tandem raging fires, so falsely set ablaze Hearts aching for that "one" unknown Sleepless nights replaced, by lonely days Then one glorious day love was found A deep love, without bounds or control Felt with a touch, or a glance so complete Two racing hearts beat, as if in one soul A few years later this love unraveled To both, this was an unwelcome surprise All manner of obstacles they might impugn But not this one, no not when love dies!
