Heart of Winter -II

Heart of Winter-II

I loved you like summer
Like the warmth of the noonday sun
Like heat and ocean breezes
Like the white bleached sands, of the beaches
I loved you like summer

Like spring, I loved you
In the morning songs of birds
In the opening, smiling cups of
Flowers, I loved you
Till spring flowed on, and then
Then I loved you like rain
Wet, rivulets
Streaming down our faces
I loved you, in the hidden places of the world
In the cool, blue pebbles
At the bottoms of streams
I loved you when the storms
came to sing

I was so lost in loving you
That I even loved their fury
When they stripped and bit
and tore at me- I laughed
I spent it all, all the year through
But when I turned- half starved- to you
It was then, that I came to see

You had no love left,
in your heart of winter,
for me
