This Love I've Known

It isn’t raw boned

It isn’t single toned

It isn’t gangling, dangling

In tattered threads

Or slender dregs.....

Ice lacquered grassy blades

The partial thaw-

His smile, a reverie

To glitter

The ickles

And shuckles

Of a winter tide

And

By and by....

This love, this love I’ve known

Acorn seeded, spaltered maple ash and beech

With dandelion wishes

To reach, to reach.....

His voice, I’ve heard

To and fro

Of honeyfur

Is seeds and grasses

Pinched between two fingers

That lingers

Between the war

And more... 

This love, this love I’ve known

It is deep, inner steep

A wave smashed chasm

In the cliffs of no return.

And from a seat

Of quiet ardor

There I watched

from neath’ the arbor

Day to day

From play to way

Cocoon boy – a man made.

This love I know, a love I know

The shadowed woodland canopy

Lanced by the light

Of a dazzling mind

Oh what a find what a find

For the world... 

And all the stars

And all the stars

Did burst in pearly

Plumes of light

A marching band brigade

By night

To the gold foil

Rivels of thunderbolts

And somersaults...

This love I’ve known, this love I’ve known

It’s funny how the story goes

To know is to love

To love is to know

And we

Do..

And we do..xx
