Our Love: Such Sweetness, Such Struggle
Love
us forever a kiss falling softly upon peasants; for we night
a
well of lust and drift a wealth of flowers. Hear it in prose, a
soundless
sound, wailing through silence, begging and
pleading
forgiveness. How do I love thee: as star to space, fruit
to
nectar, floating and wafting through time and pain. I love
you
come sleep, and court you come light, lost in such pursuit,
madly
aloft. Leave a trail and wax a voice, for love is bitter, and
love
is sweet, where a meal is life and gold. Life, for charm and
heart;
and gold, for love and rain, a season of leopards. So court
and
love and write and rage, for ours—immortal, a waterfall of
joys
and flames. I see you near a vineyard: heaven is speaking,
and
such warfare, where love is persecuted, and dreams are
punished;
but love such light, burning and streaming through heart
and
soul: love such light. Else, fall and perish a soul screaming,
“Such
disaster”: wailing and lost, dying through midnight blues.
