LOVE UNCONDITIONAL

My love for you

Is  the  love of a flower

for the wounded stalk

after the cruel hand’s hurried pluck

when anguished smells ooze

from the receptacle

with an intense scent to amaze

the boughs reeling  under a morning  shock ;

of a mother for the newborn

severed from the womb

as the umbilical cord

receives the final ,fatal jerk  ;

however hard I try

I can’t move away from you

this relatedness kills me

every moment with a kindness

for which hardly can I utter adieu !!!
