"Major Love"


My dear Major Love, 

are You following me yet?
all the sunrising storms read?
soliloquys too many to mention
my very brave Major Love

You’ll find me yet
tomorrow 
is never too late
in this dreamscape

it won’t be the Love 
that everyone suspects
it commenced inside and yet
You made it out two weeks late

are You following me yet?
Footprints left 
oh so very left, yet You 
are right, so very very right 

it's all very 
black and white

messy and neat
romance of a lifetime
my brave Major Love
yet, somehow I know You 

this You know alone,
You feel incomplete

dear Major Love 
You’ll find me yet 
lost in the crowd of 
any leftfield audience 

their better minds in hand
do not fit this catcher’s mit
that is a fact, You can be certain
of that, my brave Major Love

but You, my dear Major Love
1st base, 2nd, and 3rd 
always watched, as if an eyeball 
in the sky hovers over You

holds You 
fast and intent 
watching for all 
the home runs you have spent

I am not in the bleechers
I am fixed on You focused eyed
the winning ball pitching Life
It is only for You

in dreams 
I will always meet You

are You ready? 
it is all for You
stoic Major Love
one two three owl 

one two three owl

eyes wide open You now 
strike matched and outrun 
winning the race, yet 
sometimes we lose, Major Love 

but We losers
get back up again 
there is no giving up
there is never no giving up

all the way home
my brave Major Love 
the game already won
the field wide open before You

You'll fall again, this much is true, 
but We get back up again
there is never no giving up
my much loved Major Love

the whole field before You
my gloriously embarrassed
heart read Major Love
face flushed, You are 

always Loved
my best Major Love

We dance
We love
We fall
We get back up again 

always for Love
it is always for Love
courage, my much loved
only Major Love



Candide Diderot. ‘24 
lux gvlm lux







"There's no eye in the sky
Just our love
No unobstructed view
No perfect truths
Just our love, just our love
And there's no verse
No monument of words
For our love
For they can't hold
All I know
About my love, about my love..."

A captivating poem - especially for those who know and have known love.. I particularly like "this You know alone, You feel incomplete" almost as if we have been searching for the missing part of ourselves and never realised until it is found. Sam :)

Thank you. Maybe not brave, maybe reckless. But then, chaos has a way of making things fall just so...the just so, falls ...well, it always falls...sometimes the way it was orchestrated by some other source, of greater mystery, possibly not meant to be solved. Ghosts...where would you be without them?

Yes I had read it, I do have a soft spot in the ol' heart for all Liliths. She can be found boxed within this poem. You don't have to look too hard. Deconstructed Liliths intrigue me. There are many Liliths around and I am never alone. **************************** https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/canon_service_1649100

Oh Kavanagh. What a surprise. Perhaps the revelry and celebration not for long. Thank you. Warmest regards outside the Gates of Hell. Cerebus (or possibly Lilith), the rank disassociation continues. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/hmmm_1650553
