once i was a leaf
that fluttered over your chest
piercing through ur
plangent soul,
i reached the hidden
valley of love
you was there
as a white sheep
to chill my words
with your lovewool
i gave me the fireball of mine
to save you from
predators.
but, one damp morning,
you deserted my
melancholic eyes
saying me as a
tattered dry leaf
now rowing my
canoe through
dark woods,
i could see your search
for a new foliage like me
