LOVE - THE DOVE

I nurtured a dove

Whom I named love

For quite a while

She was a selenophile

Love gazed at the moon

As it made her swoon 

Her gorgeous ruffles shone bright

In the night light

Love was a delight

I wanted to keep her safe

In my embrace

Forever, I recall

Little did I know

Forever was an illusion

Flying high and free was her decision

She was a queen

Of everyone's dream

But all she wanted was to fly and never look back

I was sad, taken aback

As she whispered her wishes 

To my face

My heart sank 

As I drank

the pain away

accepting her way

to let her sway

and off she went

Her wings spread like a tent

looking like a star

While I wonder

If she'll ever come back

I know she will never

I can't let go, however

I wish for her peace and happiness

Knowing she will win over the world with her finesse

Even though I and LOVE Part ways

She'll own my heart always 

💜🙏🏻

Love The Dove is a poem that I whipped out of nowhere while I was having flashbacks of my teenage days and dreams. Wanted to keep it etched here as well. Hope you enjoyed reading the poem.
