Unrequited Love

Be it in your absence or a bright poetic presence,

I have the courage to find your soothing voice.

With unwavering faith the sun singes the earth,

That sweet rain shall soothe the many burns.

Unshakable and stubborn as a palisade of pleasure,

I stand and echo each little breath of yours,

Within me, again and again, till it fades low,

Perkin
