SteemitPoetryContest, What happens to a love deferred

in poetry •  7 years ago 

What happens to a love deferred?
Does it vanish with time like a bird flying in the sky?
Does it grow like a cancer inside the person until they must comply?
Does it shrink and die like a raisin in the sun?

Or maybe it dims and dies before it can shine like the sun in the winter time.
What happens to a love deferred?
Does it drive one into madness like a life without purpose?

Or Maybe it sings of past glory like a Lion of the safari.
Or maybe it's like the caged bird, no speaking or lullabies.
Just prison and regrets.
