The Eagle's Love
She flew like an eagle, vacant but unafraid
No one to touch, no one to hold
Welcoming the titillation of warm evening glow
No one who listens, no one who sounds
Soft waves splashing, echoing all around
No redolence to savor, the essence of cologne no more
Just salt from the water, distilled in the sand
Taste of mint, she does no more
Only the sweet fruit of the forbidden tree
She no longer sees his sparkling blue eyes
Only that of water and tenantless skies
She could live without him, not without love
She found the will to love herself
Completely alone
Still soaring like an eagle
Vacant an unafraid.
