Where Has Love BeenA Poem by Jessica JeanWhere has love been? On a butterfly’s wings, In my curtain creases, Hidden in the pencil case Of a childhood memory Buried in the corners of my smile In the ocean at Jones Beach Love has been around Love has been hiding Love has been flashing himself before me Then hiding again Love’s been concealed In orion’s bright lights, In the shadows of my toes, In the corner of a mirror Behind a white picket fence Where has love been but everywhere? I overlook it in sweet, anthem songs, In the orange falling leaves In the lips drinking ice water Where has love been? © 2013 Jessica Jean |
