Lavender fields steal away my resentment
Instead to reel off those whiled away hours
Wander among the rows of fragrant flowers
Shower the love as once the coastal towers
Powered another kind of intransigent war
Loss of love, touched along the shoreline
Unable to handle that which turns sour
The smitten intellect weaves with power
Seeds planted in rough ground scoured
Refined; a clumsy, cluttered kind of core
