If I could do a Neruda,
You would have smelt of summer roses
And Autumn pine.
There would have been sheer love
Of the kind that causes our hearts to ache
And loneliness bordering the divine.
You would have had so many secrets
Welling up as in a girly giggle
And so few friends who would hear them all.
I am no Neruda
I can't paint you a Summer breeze
Amidst this long winter chill.
I wish I could be a Neruda... but I will have to be with the long winter chill too....
