Bittersweet Love. Poem by Fay Slimm

Your sweet golden darts
............................... penetrate my soul.
They strike any shadows,
................................... cull and replace
My fears, and inject
.....................your warm declared love.

Let who will condemn me,
................................... I have found joy,
Yet bittersweet, but
.......................... know love's repeated
Longing will sing
....................... its own dear symphony.

One day, when fleshed,
......................... love's coveted desire
Will fire us into destiny,
............................... and - - bonded
For eternity - - -
........................... our love will survive.
