"Love in the Time of Uncertainty"



Like the tide of the ocean
coming and going
with its calm seductive 
hushed reassurances and
vociferous remonstrations
dragging me towards the undertow
I have placed my trust in lovers
that come and go like holidays 
short spent longing for depth and length, 
I burn them and begin again
considering all their ardent lamentations
best to put a sea wall up and 
walk along the edge considering
all the fins that swim 
I throw pearls at them
to wear around their thorny necks
sea rope and weeds I wear like the dead, 
sea urchins and sirens going off in my head
Love rises from hiatus again like the Sun 
when all the dying has now begun
The Heart is a sea shell 
sold by the sea shore 
placed now against my ear 
a treasure chest warm and beating
from a shipwreck
becries its glorious tales 
I hear its distant humming
a song it sings to me across 
the waves of absence, 
another’s longing,
I drink it all in
a tonic for an old Life to die
a new journey to begin
I am as green as absynthe
drugged in delusions and disillusionment, 
now darkest dark blue in form 
with shades of deepest grey as a tempest 
in a cloudy hot mess reading tea leaves 
in a cup turned upside down
as above so below
is this how it is done?
Are there such things as 
romantic prophecies, 
I am lost in reading all the other ruins and
chariots storming fallen tarot towers
gambling on right and left bowers
jokers and their tricks, Queen's Slippers badly fit
card houses built with straw clowns and broken sticks
questions are asked of the 
mystic glamour mysteries
Love in the Time of Uncertainty
Peace in the Time of Uncertainty
Wind in my sails sends me out into 
The Ocean again ...
