Pairing Indeterminate

Where then the emotive happiness
with such procrastinated enchantment brings
desirous supposedly encountered
and romantic wanderings heady cadence
which pins the inattentive to the skins of longing

It is said to be lost in the surge
to swirl with giddy waltz
yes to tremble ecstatic on the threshold of lips 
an unreasonable itch
and to be sated would only encourage it

What diversions shall bring only mindful
or some infatuated participant
passions electrical would claim and yearn if it did not
where then the ragged beast of breathless
who then is this legend of a word

To what aspirations of penultimate heights
carries the feather profound
to burnish the eyes with capitulations smile
then scatter all wishes to commitments demand
what for this singular enamored heart

So what of want
so what of need
indeed, so what of all these things believed
I know nothing of these
nor do I pretend to have entreated them

I have fallen not and none for me
though ever by the quixotic verb provokingly
still but a shadows remnant continues its pursuit
with promiscuous howl 
so clamorous in its gentle rancor …….

…... mocking patience to pierce the interminable hours
