Is this Loving?

You turn your gaze away

as I look upon you

as flowers look at the sun

Is it loving?

When you dont listen

as I speak

Like the gentle wind to the trees.

Is it loving?

When I plead for your presence

and you go away

like fragrance off a flower

Is it loving?

When you utter no word

after hearing my voice

from far away

as death leaving mourners behind

Is it loving?
