Endless Love
Will you leave our nest
in the spring
hearts intertwined
to sing
flying back
to the north
cause you're strong
defiantly survive
on your own?
Midday shadow
black veil
of dawn
rose fragrance
perspiring
through thorns
in the north
will you shiver alone
yet another in your nest
will find home
love debt in time
will melt
to an endless sea
of regrets
with wailing
returning to sand
to an empty nest
your heart
never left.
A whisper
as from living dead
by ear of the heart
only heard:
smile to me
don't be sad.
