Sam Kauffman Poet Rondeau Redouble

Intoxicated Rondeau

Intoxicated Rondeau

Totally intoxicated in prime movers’ immortality
Never hidden in punchy illusion
Broken heart dips into sacred circus hilarious absurdity
Images of staggering lightheadedness - cleared vision fusion.

Stronghold built on the perfect harmony suffusion 
Of love’s author – dizzy with tipsy truth’s reality -
Distilled Spirit's healing balm - giddy epiphanies in profusion -
Totally intoxicated in prime movers’ immortality.

Shouting slaphappy cheers for reveries tonality 
Elevated toast to the holy love’s effusion 
Gleeful, inebriated, rolling peals for grace vitality
Never hidden in punchy illusion,

Staggering in your waves of affection’s conclusion
Dropping rags of shameful brutality
Revelations of solace in my heart’s seclusion
Broken heart dips into sacred circus hilarious absurdity

Released, then freed from frost stagnation’s legality,
From enigma’s toxic labyrinth exclusion,
Torn temple curtain reveals forgiveness jubilee
Images of staggering lightheadedness - cleared vision fusion.

Giddy epiphanies of Eden love resolves confusion
Eternal elixirs of glee banish banality
In sweet essences my “I” consumed without occlusion
Saturated by the great “I Am’s” affusion totality.
	Totally intoxicated.

Anil Deo June 14, 2022 at 5:07 PM ThanX for yr visit Sam. This is good; last stanza superb. I am learning about this form; shalom - shalom Anil Deo June 17, 2022 at 5:28 PM the "spirit" of your poem ... spoke to me Sam, thanks Sam Kauffman June 16, 2022 at 9:45 AM Anil, thank you so much! For me when God shows up, which God does every day, it is a totally all consuming experience leaving me breathless and feeling "intoxicated" immersed in God. The Rondeau and Double Rondeau are such interesting, intricate, forms. Writing in these forms was a delightful challenge. I am so happy that you liked the result of my efforts. :) Blessings of shalom coming back to you!
