Love Poem: Love and Becoming

Written by: Albert Lee

Love and Becoming

The sun-stream floods
the two lovers

In their golden raputre
they make love and death

And so all life 
Reaches up to becoming

Waxing gently and strongly
In ritual forms

Moving always moving
Towards its end and back again

This swinging branch that 
Laps the air in rythmic lashes

To measure out this
Endless dripping of time

Each moment passing
With love and becoming

That binds us to Life
In a frayed and twisted knot

Like the long-legged lover
Beguiling with her black eyes

She must satisfy herself
With all her victims

In the practiced dance
Of love and beccoming

This eternal marching 
To its end and back again

Back and to its end again…
