Dove Love

Dove Love

Nothing helps
the power of understanding
living in the moment
like the pain
the loss
the person you love

The sun turns to dusk even at dawn
The beauty of the things you did cherish
look like they are playing their final set
Darkness falls on the life you did get

The tears that should help
drown your thoughts of hope
Where there was exciting anticipation
trepidation comforts creeping ghouls

Accomplished goals
become dangerous holes
filled
with
hollow victories

Spring blossoms
are
gnarled roots
Summer rain
is the earth
crying at you
for the more
you
could
have
done

Caring friends
their genuine love
empathetic
understanding faces
like doctors staring
at their dying patients
POWERLESS
as
you
SUFFER

Deals turn to wheels
a hearse on its tracks
as it slides
its last trip
Your Love
into
the
ground

True Love
not a game
you can tame
you lose
what you had
you are never
the same

Better to have loved and lost?
Really?
Are they weighing the cost?

There's no feeling
like the power of now
When the pain
it's so vivid
your love is a dove
flapping flat on the road
