I Loved A Love

I loved a love

who loved me not;

One not to love

I loved.

I painted his days

in the colors of love,

And  his nights

the color of lust.

With love’s love

I loved him;

With love's heart

I held him;

With love's body

I begged him.

Yes,

I loved a love

who loved my love,

But I wasn’t the love

He loved.
