Rendevous Without Exit
The quiet heart departs rudimentary tasks, idle-fast in what it asks
content as a former-charlatan, like leaf and bough,
tree, root and earth, joined to wisdom at birth;
it has learned to keep the tongue still 'til the mind is glad
To wait unwanted and celebrate the yearning thresh
the gratutious peal longing within; a gabled-Gabriel
heaven-sent,
trumpets pounding ------ violins and strings screeching
hallowed silence...
the drums, arising, so arising ------ pittance proud
Arising, arising...
The Lady...
from the dark
And Aloud; my name echoed as delicate and soft,
so teased...
as the friendly hand of embrace so well known
He, I awaited, the old friend never alone, and she
whom never delayed to leave me be; the dreams of her
exalted amidst shadow among light, the old friend assures again
the Ancient Kiss...
She shall return, sayeth he ------
the light from the dark, and bring thee peace
In the leaving shadow prevails, the old friend departs
the return of rudimentary tasks, still silence shatters as glass;
drums too loud ----- rich with deceit, clamoring and toiling
incomplete
Replete: the old friend and she, painted in thy soul
never to forget
A Rendevous without exit (the annex)
