No love...(Elizabeth Aldam) No love is ever forgotten
even if life has cooled
its endearing tenderness.
No passion is ever dead,
even if the cruelty of time
has put out its flames.
They´re hidden somewhere,
just dormant, just waiting
to rise against pale oblivion
and the numbness of years.
No love is ever unscathed
by all the previous ones,
no passion is ever untainted
by the ones felt before.
The present is a melting pot
where we have blended
all our loves, our passions
and the bliss of our climaxes.
