Love, February Cento

#Love, this month's #CentoChallenge composed of #February's #PoetryLotD Thank you to all the poets, including: @vchangpoet @clintsmithIII @roughband @RichieHof @a2poet @thegarysoto Photo by Alessandro Sacchi on Unsplash #FebCC

We were always waiting too long to let ourselves be seen.

Carved out of such tiny beings as we are

We cherished each our minor griefs

Lost as a light is lost in light

Where that is not

Where years have sunk and settled to the floor

I want to be pure flame. I want to be your song.

Hand in hand, with the words

Poems are as heartless as birdsong, as unmeant

Loves will    …

[cobanionsmith]

and no one--no one--can escape the heart's progress Today's #PoetryLotD comes from LXXI by Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets, Trans.
