Poem
She said, if I correctly recall,                  
That, for her, a sustaining love is an 
Absolute prerequisite for what 
Would be a total commitment of the 
Coupling bodies...and all that 
Constitutes the essential parts of the 
Eternal Soul;                                     
And I not so assuredly competent
In this - the practice of such a higher 
Art!                                              
Adding, some little time later, that
Being so chained, in what she described
As an unfortunate consequence of a
Most regrettable thrall,                            
To a domineering Harlequin who,
When mindlessly exercising the upper
Whip hand, had neither modest restraint 
Or any amount of unimpassioned 
Self-control,                                     
Was, in fact, just a flagrant excuse 
For a base lust; 
Of course this was not to be confused
With the laudable and gallant actions
Conceived within the inner workings
Of a steadfast and more openly honest 
Heart.                                            


And was I convinced that I was indeed
Sincere in all my avowed pledges?
And did I truly understand that all her 
Troubled life she had tirelessly 
Searched for one such as I purported
To, somehow, seemingly be?
How I instantly can bring to mind
Those obscure and doubting mutterings...
Still carrying upon an ill wind I
Should not wonder;
I think of them like the songs of the
Naiads: what woefully remaining
Sounding endlessly above the glassy 
Tinkling of a mystical lakeside's 
Stiffened and shuffling Sedges; 
You a modern-day Danae, infant Perseus
Clutched to your swollen breast, your
Little box, in all its abject 
Loneliness, now set adrift upon some
Desolate and open sea.


What turned out, in the end, to be a 
Pointless charade. Perhaps; but that
Which, despite shortening periods, whilst 
Enduring felt almost timeless.
Then of course this shared guilt...
That will, shamefully I fear, 
Forever bind us.
