Much is lost, love is not. 20180618.


I came upon a half of a rose,

Pressed, between old pages

I knew I could love it more

If I could recall, its forgotten faces

Pressed to such a goal I took

The half to all friendly places

Found upon returning,

It might never be a whole,

But my half of the love had grown

ten-folds upon sharing.
