Love Poem: Benevolence

Benevolence

Advancing the construct of love
    With embryonic sophistication
Will only bemuse the dove
    And send her back with agitation….

Through its genial labyrinth, into the trap
    Of every distant memory;
For the olive branch will surely snap
    When clinging to its reverie.

The bark will fend off the wrath of December,
    However, the fruit is not solely for you—
Lest we digress and disremember;
    The leaves are there to collect the dew

To nourish itself for all to pursue.
