When true love’s gone

When true love’s gone and doom hangs over head
When life runs  like a river to the sea
Then shall I take new lovers to my bed
And with their carnal touch consoled be?

When my love lies and  breaks my tender heart.
When life  is grey and rocks bestrew my path.
Then, shall I my life of evil start,
And on the world shall I bestow my wrath?

When true love lies and wrecks all loyalty.
When puzzlement makes all my world seem mad.
Then I shall upend causality
And let myself do deeds which make me glad.

For I have love’s  own child inside my soul
And I shall tend her till at last she’s whole

    1. I like this one even though it’s not quite what I hope but I think I’m got the essence. We are suffering more rain every day but still for the trees are turning red. It’s been the hottest October since 1919 whatever that means.
      Sending you my very best wishes.Katherine
