BitterSweet

Ah, Love.

a fragrant rose
in a cool spring garden.
a juicy peach
sweet, running down your chin.
visions of the sun
breaking through a new day.

Ah, Love.
Eternal.

Oh, Love.
Lost.
pungent smell of decay.
bitter lemon.
shawdow on your heart.
oh, where is the Light?

Lost.
Eternal.

Love.
BitterSweet.

without the One
what is the Other?

By the Bitter
may we measure the Sweet.

Ah, Love.
