Reject Relief Love Offer Of Solace? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

absent lover means unhappiness
to alone pine for want of happiness?
shall alone lover accept another
reject relief love offer of solace
is this imprudent or faithful wise?

to true love goes time tested victory
what other kind of love can be victorious?
genuine love distance heart makes fonder
what but love endures separation detestable
when deprived of ardent love irreplaceable?

time shall show true metal
to love gently affectionate?
without hurtful raging feelings
true love is revenge incapable
true love carries no malice?
