Lamp from Beneath

Is it winsome love, a probing love, to capture love? She’s
an architect, showing signs, a jealous love. I grieve to
feel, to surface miracles, an all night love. Maybe a
glass, to sip for hours, to feel for love. I leave—adrift,
to ponder for tours, bold in disposition.

Remain an ideal,
ever human, to raise a voice; for
I sigh, “Silence,” to drink for
love, a filtered love.

It whispers, a sullen scar, wounded with woes; but she
lilts for heart, to grip a soul, a statuesque queen. Such for
mind, a torn abyss, filled with beauty. I stress to pass, to
mold a light, fastened to a universe. I’m struck for
thunder, to build a settee, to kneel for soul; and there she
sits, to nurse an ache, to rinse a scar. We soak in sorrow,
with teary laughs, nursing a murky wine. It’s tender—a
warmth, folded in pleats, for a texture rich.  

We find a smile, a game of chess, careful to comfort. It’s
all a trance, a torch aflame, heavy with soul. I’m sightly
whelmed, a touch to soar, locked in charms. We tip a
spout, to print a light, a world of symphonies. Its core a
tear, a stemming faith, for sacred qualities. We pause, a
bit naïve, to tip a spell. I’m found for lost, to grip a note,
turned for spinning.
