Lost Love

I watch you leave – emotion fills my soul!
Dull earth and you are many miles apart.
Art thou perturbed by this harsh winter cold?
Fear not, cry not, my dear, we will not part.
Nevertheless, sweet love, be brave and strong.
Think of our love and it will give thee strength.
For you, my love, the angels praise in song.
Why must Jove laugh at love’s promises’ lengths?
The time you hold me in your tender arms,
Speaking softly amid the silent calm.
Fortius, citius, altius, you try and fly,
Adieu, take care, my heart shall never die.
The thorn and pain you left in me to bear.
Your love for me, you know I’ll gladly share.
