Cornflowers and Poppies

When I was young, I saw first love
in waving fields of wheat correction: "in fields of waving wheat" Thank you, Eira!
still safe from reapers’ scythes.
So lovely was your face—
with cornflower eyes that shone
in heaven’s blue. And your lips—
those lips, kissed by the summer
sun—how they glowed in poppy red
as I embraced you with my brush’s strokes.

At harvest time came sharpened
blades, and all your beauty fell to naught
before my gaze, till I beheld a barren
stubble field, soon plowed and buried
in the soil— But let no plowshare lay
to rest my painted memories of you.
