Book Cover & Preview Text
What Are You, My Love? At times you shine forth in my reality, So real that I can see; At times you flicker in my fantasy, As gauzy as a reverie. At times you pass by me, So close that I catch a whiff; At times you seem to be perched atop a mighty cliff. At times an object of my craze, Tearing my soul apart; At times a memory’s bursting blaze, Doused in my fluid heart. What are you, my sweet Beloved - A wispy thought, a vapour ring, The sanguine hue in my blood Or my heart’s infinite suffering?
