Overcast

"Overcast"

   by Luke Putz

Oh where tell me where did my sunshine go?

Tell me, where could they have taken her to?

The clouds have gone and hid her from my sight,

Concealed her and turned my day into night,

Only gloom and sadness do they bring to stay,

They darken my mood and ruin my day,

But if I will wait and faithfully pray,

She will be returned, and all will be right.

Withering Love

"Withering Love"

   by Luke Putz

Dead leaves lie upon the cold ground,

A reminder of time gone by,

Signs of an emotional wound,

Evidence our plant will soon die.

Damage is clear for all to see,

Like the wind, words have left their sting,

Love wilts. Was this not meant to be?

Will this turn to another fling?

But wait. Petals still bloom afresh!

Our love still clings to life fervent

And will not wilt. Our love's still mesh

And lives if you are observant.

Do not forsake our love just yet!

Pruning is just a growing chance,

Love's an eternal  covenant,

Lasting promise, intertwined dance.
