Song Of The Swan Poem by Barbara Mitchell

Song Of The Swan



It wasn't always so, that love, the leech,
sucked this slow.
Full fast at first it battened on,
swelled like an aria sung to the poem
'We Were Young'.
But, blood clots sick
in the yearning caves of a loveless heart.
We grow to strangeness
and far apart.
Silence is loud with old angers
- glances are sharpened darts.
Oh, how I hate you now!
You, fallen idol,
are the cooling fever on my brow.
