Were I to know that you were wholly mine
I’d stake my claim and fight till death of time
I’d bare my teeth, emit a vicious growl
To her who dares around my prize to prowl
Were I to know your eyes just burned for me
I’d bathe your form in luscious ecstasy
Were I to know that I’m the only one
I’d burn for you with heat of blazing sun
Were I to know my beauty you adored
And proffered luring kisses you abhorred
Were I to know my lips were your desire
I’d baptize soul and body in my fire
Were I to know your heart just bore my name
I’d send your soul to heights of lover’s fame
Were I to know I danced within your dream
I’d feed you my delights and richest cream
Alas, all this is yet unknown to me
And so I cannot pledge my constancy

I have a blog up entitled, What Would YOU do for LOVE???? Have a look see and offer your take on the matter. If love is being unreasonable, should the lover give it to its demands?

Happy Birthday Sweetheart
To Barb, with all my love, Frank
By Franklin Price

Happy birthday sweetheart.
I still pledge my love for you.
It has only grown much deeper,
Since the first at twenty-two.
Your first one in our marriage.
Your first birthday, as my wife.
Since then we've aged together,
Traveled down the road of life.
Birthdays, now, are more subdued,
My joy, and love for you, no less.
Still treasure every one of them.
Still want your love, I must confess.
Our anniversary was golden,
As this birthday is with you.
We've enjoyed them all, together,
Since the first at twenty-two.
I used to be naive, I used to trust
but then that trust just crumbled into dust
the world at large is so unkind, it's true
there is the world at large, and then there's you
You are the one on whom I rest my soul
my naked thoughts reveal without control
You are the one to banish every doubt
to make me see what trust is all about
You are the one I tell each secret fear
the one whose fragrant promise lingers near.
You are the one who knows my hidden ways
Who fills with love the moments and the days
You are my fortress sure, my anchored dream
I lie still in your arms in flowing stream
You are the one who loves without degree
the one whose smile erases history
You are the lover's hope avowed in pledge
A sure security when life's on edge
You are my truth, my strength, my everything
Because of you, my heart and soul can sing

May is exhaling
her last anticipated breath
And turning her face
towards June
June, sweet June,
The perfect month
For all loves to be consumed
When all those who have loved
Become fast lovers
When separated twos
Pledge to become eternal ones
Come what may
Never to be undone
One always loves a lover
But this June
that will not be me
I am still waiting
still waiting to see
Waiting to see
What if any
my love will come to be
Oceans still stand
between us
And although our love
feels as full as star-filled skies
There is still no he and I
No he and I together
Under the star filled skies
Not this June
I loved on Saturdays in March, at dawn
(back then, each day was Saturday) to root
in pond and hedgerow. Light was pale, dilute,
and buds clung tight and hard around the thorn.
This season, with the world so freshly born,
enchanted me. Each flicking, wedge-faced newt,
sedge on his face, unconscionably cute,
each ink-black eye from thousands in the spawn,
each clear cold pool, each acid-green young shoot,
each minnow which acknowledged my pursuit
and twitched my hand-held line (no hope of rod!),
each copse, so self-contained and absolute,
with nascent blossom dusted, bluebell-shod,
appeared to me a pledge of life from God.
Elusive Ephemeral Ethereal Expansive: Timelessness
Analogous to mobius strip -

throughout the vast sweep of

and/or pullulations arisen by
spontaneous circumstantial grant

coalescing into brutish
deliberated focused intent,

death be not proud not

survivalist tactical wedge.
Danger said to hold on tight
Tonight will be a bumpy ride
Birth the self full-armed to fight
Cuz there's nowhere left that we might hide
The topplers heard you were the bird
That sung such pretty lies
The sleepless truth you have now stirred
And would tear those pretty eyes
Life and death are vying for me
We clamber from the shores unto the seas
Hoping the moon well receives our pleas
The winds upon the tides promise no guarantee
The prophets are aligned
And too, our fates resigned
But we pledge all our light
To remain free
Tho' the end be in sight
We rescind that destiny
Angels are on high
Fires churn the watery deep
If I try bide the time to cry
Will the world wake from its sleep
And try in its humble way
To comfort me
I can see the light spilling upward forming day
I can see the sinking clouds parting in our way
Fallen in the fray
Is this the destiny you've chose for me
Love is the candle that lights our way
I tremble at these words you say
Tables ever turning
Luck is giving sway
Don't ever let me catch you settling
For the fates others pay
Leave them to their days
Dying in the craze
They never paid their—praise
Go on
Be what you must be
Truth is happy and is sleeping
Tears of joy, weeping—
Night fills with day
I gazed into the starless night,
searching for an answer to your lies.
The moonless sky reminded me of the
emptiness that lies within your heart.
I called into the empty wind and it
could not answer me
I thought I heard your voice but
time froze it just like ice.
The beautiful eyes that once caressed
now lost within themselves.
The heart that once seemed bottomless
now became icicle cold.
The touch, once warm and tender
pulled back in revulsion.
The love once pure and innocent
became full of hatred.
The vows once said as a pledge
now became a battle ground.
The harmony once found
now becomes the fury.
The lives that once were happy
became a broken heart.

Oh, clothe those loving thoughts in words
Give voice to all that lives inside
For when they simply dormant lie
I must likewise my passion hide.
Oh, give utterance to love’s tides
Which now flow unchecked from your eyes
Speak them into existence, Love
Or this poor soul might think them lies.
Why must I question every look?
And second guess the smallest move
When all you need to do is say
What I need your love to prove.
Ah...speak, for tis true once it’s said
There will be no way to retrace
Your steps to that platonic place
Where love was banished from your face.
Then speak...speak..for I’m faint to hear
The words of love you hold so dear
You must utter them in a pledge
And breathe them sweetly in my ear!
Oh, for the love of heaven, Speak!
“I will serve God* wholeheartedly.”
That is my vow of dedication
only by His grace can be fulfilled
through His instruction divine.
“I will unceasingly thank the Lord.”
Such is my heartfelt pledge
to the Creator Who deserves my gratefulness
for all His wondrous deeds in my life.
“I will strive to be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.”
With my commitment to abide by faith in His perfect will
I cleave to His love, always reaching-out to me
Enveloping me with His presence.
*Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
