What Love is Lost

What Love is Lost?

What love is lost that’s found a home
In two hearts that have loved with all?
What love is not that has lost its way
Yet lives beyond sensibility’s call?

What love is waste though hearts be broken
If true love is its call?
What love is gone that yet lives on
In the hearts that have given all?

Love is not gone when doors are shut
Love is not lost if yet it lives
Love was not for naught if it burns within
Though not welcome, yet it still gives

Give ear to your heart when you lie this night
Give voice to love which yet lives
Give way to the doors which burn to open
Kiss tenderly and feel what love gives

You may close your eyes to love dear lover
Yet love will call you by name
Love ever beckons the hearts it lives in
Where forever love lives and will reign
