Love and Lilacs

We wandered through the yard today.
Then you broke off a lilac spray
And handed me the lovely bloom,
That radiated sweet perfume.

It was a symbol, I could see,
Of something happening to me,
For every time we have to part,
You break off pieces of my heart!



Betty Lou Hebert

Hmmmm....I cannot tell if the ' break off pieces of my heart ' part...is meant in sadness or in blissful adoration....either way...I like it...oh...one more thing... LILACS RULE!!!!!

Sigh...lovely romance ...lovely poem!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
