Unrequited Love

Gentle dove with crystal breath
 with plumes that touch my heart
 you bring a message of my death
 when you say we'll be apart

 I will not leave, here I must stay
 for my heart remains with you
 darling, love will find a way
 if you could believe it too
 ---
 Dove looked down with sorrow
 and shook her head once more
 there can be no tomorrow
 for with me, you cannot soar

 You are a cat, I am your lunch
 what future could we share
 I hear you, but I have a hunch
 you'd eat me, without a care

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
