Four Micropoems on Love by Madelyn Fernandez Marcelino

HEART 

Your magnanimous heart

When I’m bereft

And slouching

Comes

Depite

Distance and time

To open the door

To lift the weight of my story.

□ 

KNOWING THAT 

My Love,

You are the Moon

That highlights my shadow.

Even the stars

Fade away

When you appear

Knowing that

I belong

To you.

□

LIKE FLAME 

Love charging

Eyes shut defeating tears

I wrestled with Cupid

But

Irresistible, his almond eyes

I weakened and died

Like flame

In the whirlwind.

□ 

LOVE'S AGONY 

You told me once

You see Paradise

In my eyes.

I say,

Eden is a state

of our heart

And Love’s agony

Is real.
