A Love Poem
To hang beneath such skies as these,
Sheet blue glass, marbled with white,
Clouds threading wisps on a day to seize
This glory before the fall of night.
I stared aloft with blood infused
With springtime’s amphetamine jolts,
With dandelion seeds and daffodil juice
And the sparks from lightening bolts.
And in this cool, stately reverie
As greenfly crawled upon the rose,
The world it shrank microscopically
To elements of poetry and prose.
A poem of love, the soft whispering words
Dripped from the murmur of my lips
And drowned the sound of bees and birds,
Becalmed the sails of the sailing ships.
To listen as a vacuum ruled the earth,
To the rhyme wrought in this magic hour,
A poem of love, a colossus of worth
Bestrode the day with its’ power…
