Your Love

I hold no expectations,
in this existence
it was not to be,
but I will not sever
your love.

The keeper of your gift,
guards it ceaselessly,
recognizes rarity,
mourns the loss
of your love.

Nexus of strength,
silken thread of being,
secreted pearl -
your love.

Saving this spark
for when I need you most
to recall the songs
of your love.

As have many of yours - This will go among my treasures - I've pointed you out to those I call 'real' poets -
Take pride in knowing they agree with me - you are one of them - - Even if I'm still learning

Wonderful ... absolutely wonderful.
