Achilles Heels

Love is beautiful, true
The thought of it soothes
It has the power of a thousand youths
I knew till you left me blue
And I drank of her sorrow

This dent would live beyond tomorrow
It’s like the life we borrow
Forgets its roots
In a heart, pocket or a shoe
This dent would bring down Kilimanjaro

Here are my tributes;
I wish I housed you in my Kangaroo’s
porch till your time was due
For a bigger bungalow
