Utopian Abstract Love

They say don't forget your jewels

when they take me;

And she with a withered look,

smiles but a tear flows.

They say not to look at the reflection of love

when you leave;

And he smiles away with a dirty photograph

in his pocket that smells.

She knows what they say; but still,

in profound anguish she welcomes the milkman.

They say don't forget your jewels

when they take me enclosed in that utopian photograph.

Written in early 2000s.

Note: Thanks for reading my poem and I hope you liked it.
