Love

Steven Burak 1959 (Salford)

Ode
Love
dies not

hies not
from pain

always
to come again

and again
and again

sometimes
against the grain

and sometimes
for all
the beautiful same.

When all
can seem to fall
and everything appal

that cloak
shrouding
 the light

can lose the fight.

For love
knows not war

always oping the door
to even more love

and more

and more!
