"Does Love End" (by Joe DiMino)
Does love end?
Or simply leave
With a bend,
A curve
Out of sight
And then
Another bend,
And ours
To affect
When seeing
New light
At the fork
To left alone
Or brighter
Together-right
Not all thrown
Stones shatter;
Not all shards
Of the Mirror
Cut in ways
That matter
The dark, a curve,
A stretch-like pause,
To bow
To take
Final applause
And then
A budding
That scent
A whiff of spring
My how a heart
Sensing new fragrance
Sings!
Struck by dawn
Feels not pain
But warmth,
And brightly rings,
As fine crystal
Comes alive
With fond dings;
Swings, red cherries
Ripe on boughs
In the moment
Of bliss
Only hearts dead ask
The Whys and Hows
Of light
Of storm,
Thus all
Once blossoms
Wash away
And so, the curtain
Again undrawn:
Stage lights lit
Call our actors on
The tears, the laughter
The performance, all good,
Life is a stage
And back
Or forward
Into the Woods
Only still
Are the graves
