When I See My Old Lover(To Her)

When I see my old lover the grasshoppers on her cheeks were unseen. Her eyes became the tomb of lost dreams. Her stomach was like a paddy field after the harvest Her heart was like a panting balloon. Her body was like a over ripe banana fruit. When I see my old lover the saffron sky on her face had vanished. And it has spread on the cheeks of her daughter.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
