Love Poem: L For Lovers

L For Lovers

Legendary lovers lay low,
Lurking longingly like lorikeets,
Languishing beneath a clump of larches,
Lena flirting with Leander
Lunching on lotus flowers,
Lost bearings to all.
Liquored up into a dual lullaby
Listening to a lay from Lake Lethe,
Eyes lit in lambent love.
Luck lifted their luminousness. 

Greek Lord livid at their love
Lashed lightning 
And locked them both out
Love flickered into oblivion.
