Love poem for the reflection in the mirror

Flowers in the foreground which have been blurred with a boat sailing across the water in the background

The earth splits itself open in cold streams of water

And the trees sway to the wind and bend with all their glory

Leaves fall and leaves grow

Colours fade and colours change, for you, they do

With the rustling of the leaves and the shades of the skies

With a dog standing on its hind legs with its arms

Clasped to your waist, singing you lullabies

The bed turns warm when your back needs something soft

When the wind passes through the lonely corners of this city

With your back against the world

You look for some quiet

And the birds give it to you with their songs

Soft sunlight on your cheek

A flower on your ear, and a gentle autumn breeze

I will not even begin with the skies

To begin, you need a starting point

There is no start, and there is no end 

Tell me you don't think

It's not all for you

Look at me

Tell me

You're not full of love
