In Love - For Kate 2018

Love does not float above the clouds it burns it seethes it desires and with all these finger tips these lips their love can express do willfully so and a throat can howl and a beast can yearn and all tenderness within its claws discern make of passion a feathers caress on your skin but still in heat regardless and rapine Love does not have its feet ground in earth it floats above the clouds it glides in a spiritual serene it considers and takes stock of dreams and ponders the anticipation of unity it carries me gentle to the hedonism of my soul and in the heart and unburdened dances turns all its rhythms to the rhythms of love to flow from one and into two and whispers constantly the name of you Such is love by corpuscle and time of fate without choice and by some ephemeral design made it so and forever return to the song the theme the warp and weft in the weave of love brings forth its tapestry of life I confess I am weakened and strengthened by love
