    DEFINITION OF LOVE(4 LADY YAFFA)

    This is dedicated 2 Lady Yaffa. I write in this style maybe once a year but My Sister asked 2 see more of this form so...I hope you like it My Sister.

    Shall I not lament
    her Shadow's Passing?
    as twilight vapors
    shape 2 construct
    halo around a misty moon
    I shall not seek refuge within
    vanity's protective cloak
    so
    laugh as you wont
    4 in my silence
    do I treasure her momory
    and tell me fickle friends
    what purpose is this
    wretched curse life
    if hopeless hearts cannot
    extract from the firmament
    a most precious gem
    A fool am I?!
    so be it
    4 the memory of her love
    I hold dear
    her gentle footsteps above me
    the sincerity of her greeting
    upon the cusp of dawn
    her smile I admit
    so captured my heart
    my fervor emerged from its cocoon
    and struck me silent
    with a blissful ease
    so
    laugh as you wont
    I shall stand before you
    without shame
    and confess that my pride
    is forsworn 2 her capricious nature
    observe closely the man you mock
    have your fill of merryment
    I shall remain silent while
    my dissertation is transcribed
    by the muse
    I pity you shamefaced men
    descend from your pillars of arrogance
    4 this life you cannot possess
    and until thy Serpent's Breath
    deem me mortal
    I shall BELIEVE
    in love and my soul's urgent request
    2 love again and again
    as I once loved her
    You ask why I chose 2 remember
    I ask you
    how can I forget?
    that once long ago
    a man had a dream
    a dream that made the woe of life bearable
    and a life that with her angelic virtue
    emerged 2 become
    my
