love · New work

Love has lost

As we yearn for love

In every thought

We await perfection

To a point distraught

As we wait and wait

Time goes by

We lie to ourselves

And time does fly

Age encroaching

That ticking clock

Love evading

Until it stops

Will it be found

If we look too much

Life has passed

Love has lost
