SEASONED LOVE



spring is here again anew
yet vibrant greens shade faded blues
i lost my love in winters chill
the sting and cold i feel it still

to make one love by will or force
is pushing string uphill of course
love and pain by time or fate
stubbornly won't separate

it started o'er a year ago
with passion only lovers know
unbridled fire blinding light
warmed us through the winter night

ice it melted spring it bloomed
from loving nights we slept till noon
o'er endless seas we sailed forever
on woven winds entwined together

in summertime's warm sand and sea
i prayed love not abandon me
but through the weeks and day to day
i slowly felt love slip away

in autumn colors' magic hue
we briefly felt romance renew
but as dying leaves raked from the lawn
our love we had was all but gone

in wintertime we had a fight
our rage and hate spewed through the night
and no more could we feel the same
with hearts too cold to light a flame

with nothing left but ash and dust
of burned out love then part we must
the love was dead our bird had flown
we cried and hugged and left alone.

with no defense from winters cold
i felt the age i felt the old
i missed the love i missed my friend
until I felt the spring again

back from black and frozen haze
i know now sad but sunny days
so turning from my odd reflection
i plan to choose a new direction

so many paths! but which to take?
dare i risk a new mistake?
the spring is here and weather fair
and every road can take me where

the love ignites the broken spirit
eyes can see and ears can hear it
broken hearts can always mend
and seasoned love may bloom again.
