Image: A Loving Couple (here)cheek new apple journey mouth touch
grief dreams hunger pain melt burden
dancing cheek to cheek
with a new apple of the eye
to embark on a journey,
uncertain but for a taste of life
there were mouth watering
episodes for every likely touch,
when they were young.
but there were grief, sorrow or joys
for dreams that couldn't last.
hunger for love was the incentive
though pain may linger or melt
a reminder that broken hearts
did carry burdens for
those inexperienced

Love is a risk worth taking, broken hearts and all. Nice one.

Hank, love is such a paradox. Most of it visits and moves on, but it always leaves a residue of itself within us.
