Circle of the Lesser Verses

Love Song

Never tell me how or when
he became your golden boy.
Come and kiss me once again.
Leave me then and go away.
Love affairs are lisping tourneys,
wayside wars on tedious journeys;
       Be gone,
       dear man,
before the coral clouds of dawn.

Go without a final scene.
Dead love seldom entertains.
Sorrows seldom linger long.
They soon drown in tomorrow's pains.
Go and laugh with your golden other.
Life without you is no bother.
       We're smart
       to part
before we scar each other's heart.
