Keep Burning ~ a poem

Keep burning

 

Dear woman,

please, don’t cry

when he goes away.

Remember,

the Sun sets each day

to rise back tomorrow.

At night, billions of suns

shine for lovers.

Stay awake tonight and milk

a drop of fragrant oil

from each star.

Keep your longing burning

… until dawn.

He brings new life.
