Love Goes Like the Wind Blows

A poem about love lost.

Love goes like the wind blows

On these blisteringly cold

Starry winter nights

Far beyond the busy city.

 

I envy you and your lively grace

Your lovely eyes and smile.

You are lost as always

To me and my brooding charms.

 

I had you so long ago,

For only a quiet moment.

Then you flung yourself,

As always, into another's

Warm, anonymous arms.

 

I despise you and your lovers

And hope you become a bitter

Old hag someday, sometimes.

When I can't stand the pain any longer.

 

I lost you many a year gone,

When the breeze was familiar,

And love wasn't just a dream.

I had you, but never more.

 

I know now, it's tatooed to my heart,

Surrounded by barbed wire and

Frozen, unmoving stone walls,

I know I'll never find love again.

 

At least not with you.

 

Love goes like the wind blows....
