The Winter of Love

Seasons will come
In life and in Love

Spring brings new life
And with life comes beauty

Summer is happiness
Both sunlight and late nights

Fall is the last breath
Mountainsides set afire

Winter brings death
A clean slate as it were

In this winter of love
I reflect on the year
Short as it was
I enjoyed every moment

The laughs and the smiles
On both her face and mine
I cherish this year
But now lay it to rest

One day winter will give
And there in its place
Will be the Spring I await
Spring everlasting

Love is for All*

LOVE IS FOR ALL*
by Brian Clarine

Love is for all
It's what brings the most joy
A crush on a friend
I've crushed on so many
The crush can be fun
But also ironically funny
I have done so before
It's nothing new to me now
I'll step aside
And then after I've cried
I'll help you along
'Til I no longer belong
Sad songs I can write
But that's all I can muster
I say my goodbye
Yet nobody hears me
I am still here
But I'm so dead on the inside
Love is for all*
Yet I don't feel it at all
I express it
I can feel love for another
Never once, however
Have I felt it returned
Indeed I believe
That love is for all*

*Just not for me
