Ransom
Cosmic is the clash that held me down
Tectonic flash that struck upon the ground
The reins that held so tightly I was bound
To winsome way I finally had found
Beyond intent of weaving for myself
With tapestry of love put on the shelf
So, thank you for your patience and your guile
I smile yet, once again, at Dazzle's style
Beyond my comprehension, not respect
Your wilding ways, my heart that is bedecked
With crystal spires that sing as they reflect
The passioned ransom song and its effect
Life of Love
I set my heart upon the sky
I sing the waves from there on high
To wash and soothe the Flow to fly
On wings of life and love and sigh
To heal the wind that flows through loving wings
Sustain the lift so steady as she sings
To soar upon crescendoes of the strings
In measures matched to life of love she brings
The Beacon
Within the darkness glowed a light
Across the binding sea
Incandescence to bedight
The wondrous, bel esprit
I sought the beacon, long and lost
But, never distance ever crossed
The beacon's light was far too bright
The blaze of light across the night
Was spinal fire of thee
Twin feelings, there, of love and awe
The beacon blazed upon the flaw
The radiance fluorescing all the while
In elegance and timeless, daring style
As witness to the waves and sea
Disdaining all the agony
Of blood and loss and tragedy
How was I to know
That only half the glow
Was all I should expect before
Or ever should have sought
And, in this life, to just explore
The word, not deed, but loving thought
That love will have to wait awhile
For elegance of life and loving style
The numinous
As the numinous began to stir
I raised my eyes to fondest sight of Her
And heart began to rise
In sensing of Her precious love
From up above in thoughts thereof
She graced my loving Skies
To guide me on from dusk to dawn
To lay the song upon the lawn
And watch as weeping dries
No slightest doubt, no shorter route
With heart devout and feelings stout
I listened for the drum
I'll follow it for all my days
Through wickets wired to feel the craze
Upon our hearts, I strum
Ah, it's good to feel release
These loving arms will never cease
As empty as may be
To fill the arms, the final goal
The honest heart with loving role
A goal that keeps me free
To love You 'cross so many lives
Sends me, long, on deepest dives
While heart's in apogee
Defining life is still to come
The loving felt upon the drum
Of loving hearts set free
You are my intention
With life in abstention
I'll love you through all of the night
Until it is I love you right
I just can't quit writing. You are my muse and so much more than that across all lives.
Slight update. I think I'm finished.
I feel like I hear a voice saying, "I win! Life is misery!!!" I just hope that voice is not you and that it is wrong. I haven't given up the challenge. I've just declared a change of venue.
Of a heartbeat that spies as the love mystifies
The crescendo of life in its wake
Like fractals of wintry snowflake
The tune that is sung, once the revel's begun
Where fireworks are flung, in full passion of sun
I love you for all of all time
In word and in thought and in rhyme
Just for you and all of love's own sake
