Truths of Love (17)

Since the pen of love was set in motion,

I have been putting words to paper.


As the nights of separation darkened,

so the white pages filled with writing.


Yet even after a hundred thousand pages,

the book of love did not reach its end.


I saw that when compared with the lover’s worth 

those pages had no value.


Love made the pen falter and in jealousy 

washed away all that had been written.
