In Love We Remain

Whirlwinds agree that 
stricken sands in a summer endure promise
Hailstorms entrance 
when a dried out autumn is tried
And when we take cover 
in chances swept adrift

Tones accustomed to 
discarded songs emerge
If we call them memories 
they soon will fade
In disturbed sequence some untie,
and toss prescient fireside kisses
into loss

Some engage..
and return to us untouched
Unstrung, they may disperse
Others gauge the tenderness
we favour,
Untouched, they may enrage
Yet others stray 
beyond their own emptiness...

And still,
in love we remain
