I have known love so great
\nthe cataclysms of forever
\ncould not contain it,
\nI would dissolve into purity
\nbefore I forgot.
\nI cry at the beauty
\nand sadness of it,
\nmore hungry
\nthan any starvation.
\nHeavier than a star
\nburning in the hand.<\/p>\n
No one knows the silence
\nI endured,
\nthe emptiness of its hope.
\nSuch love has never left,
\nnever dimmed.
\nIt sails to the horizon
\nwithout me,
\nnot seeing how I waved,
\nsat on the beach
\nand counted waves,
\ncrashing like children from the surf.<\/p>\n
How I saw faces in the crowd,
\nlooking off,
\ndisappearing,
\nas if they\u2019re ghosts.
\nWhy in September
\ndoes this come to me?
\nAs if love
\nturned to pink
\non cheeks wanting to be kissed,
\nsmiles opening like flowers,
\nblossoming in my heart,
\nwhen the air is cool<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
