Broken-Heart Entwined

You left me in the fist of a 
cold night,
when the eggs were yet 
unhatched;
a budding love denied. 

O that the Sun stole
through the sheild of 
dusk-shadows,
and noon stopped the 
wind 
from spurring me to 
spasm,
nature would have 
nutured me.

The Rose sprang at dawn,
swirling in pure ecstacy,
broken-heart entwined.
