Triolet VI
Love Potion Painting by Koloman Moser 1915
Triolet VI
As millennia expire,
We cannot say we’re one.
My faithful soul does tire,
As millennia expire.
We do not lose desire:
Our passion is over done
As millennia. Expire
We cannot. Say we’re one.

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.
Great work, thank you for posting!
I like it.
A sad, but well told–and all too familiar–story. Very nice!
