Poem: When Lovers Love No More

 The no you choose wounds me to the core

The leaves that twirl around the cafe fade

How sad it is when lovers love no more.


We once were bound by an invisible cord

Your presence turned a starless night to day

The no you choose wounds me to the core.


The mystery encircling us is torn

Eyes that used to see have lost the way

How sad it is when lovers love no more.


The wine has stopped that used to flow

The turtledove has lost her given mate

The no you choose wounds me to the core.


I waited for you to walk through the door

A nighttime city street to send you my way

How sad it is when lovers love no more.


The gondoliers will sing, whatever for?

The kindness of the muses is betrayed

The no you choose wounds me to the core

How sad it is when lovers love no more.
