L'Nass Shango Poet Free verse

You Speak of Love

You speak of love
And I
Suddenly
No mere Jason for a mother's life
Cannot shake how flimsy
The promises of loyalty sail
The desert sea of needs.
And so beyond
The gourmet of the eyes
For swivelling hips and honeycomb drips
I sought my paradise
Beyond the wilting flowers of lips
And coming back to port
Accepted whatever creature comfort
Bloomed on providence
For I
Muted in sorrow still must tell
The Holy Grail
Was only the casting
Of desire's spell.
