Here in lies the love poem (kind of) from Hlint as promised. It is not my best work but it fit the situation and is kind of elfish. It is rough and unpolished still. I hope you enjoy it.
Love
As I think of love my mind wanders
down long forgotten paths
It marches back to the early days you youth
Carefree days
days spent with idol time
time with friends
Before we knew what love was
Before we judged and weighed
When puppy love was common
When smitten a new each week or day
True love flew on cupid’s arrow
striking the heart of but a few
those it struck were one in love
That love flourished and grew
it fanned its flames and spread
Soon these struck were inseparable
have eyes only for each other
all others were but fleeting shadows
in the life of those in love
But love can last longer then life
And when it does
one is gone and one is left
And the ones left standing
Must carry on the work
the work that love started
tend the tree
that grew from that small seed
A single tree in a forest
one life is a sea of people
no one sees that tree
not one alone in a forest
not a single grain of sand on a beach
the tree suffers alone
its leafs turn withers and fall
From that moment on
they are in the autumn of their life
Their life their passion their love
all fall away one autumn leaf at t time
as one dream floats quietly to the ground
another is slowly turning colors
dying yet clinging until the next gust
when the winds of life come
the leafs let go and fly away
one by one they are gone
Leaving only a barren tree
striped of leaves
striped of hopes and dreams
love is was the seed that was planted
love was the sap that flowed
the blood in our veins
our very life force is was and will be love
