Poems About Carol Ann Duffy Seeking Friendly Advice

Your love was a pearl
never to be found.
In its shell, the heart of everything
is never fully round.

The full moon was a pearl

white wings, white shoulders,
still as solemn passions
running deep.

milky and full, her love
burning away the aches I keep.
