A Haunting Litany

A haunting litany

Of love that can't be denied 

Painful absence

Loss of fragrance 

Of a fallen live

Here and there, lived

So much bitterness swallowed!

And the end of the road a blatant truth,

An imminent separation 

Will love triumph over so much derision?

Will love overcome so many decisions?

Which one day will fail on the asphalt

Where happiness would be banished, 

Where sincerity would be betrayed!

What would become of this pure love?

Would it survive in this impure world?

Time would decide... 

Would spare so many evils

Desired love

Love lived

Love scorned

Love... Would rise from your ashes!
