Love Poem: The Remains of Love

The Remains of Love

Confessions of lust
In death’s sweet crust
Of poisoned fruit
Deceiving the just

Silky smooth skin
The secrets within
The veiled mushroom stem
Not outside but in

Fruit on a cage
Wither with age
Yet memory plumps
In youths' first page

Passion still lives
Forgets and forgives
Even if life
Leaves the crust
On a plate
