∙love is the wine

"Let not love's light flicker upon solitary, burning flames"

you are reposing in my sun's rays whilst i dwell in your veiled shadow crying, crying at the uneven corner dissecting the shade's size and shape questioning the necessary adjustments with life's amplified tape measure~ you smile beautifully at my dimensions you are eating from my life's banquet bearing witness to my spiritual recovery prostrating before my alluring magnetism giving unforetold foreign salutations as a sixth tongue is taught &; mastered notice the fingers on Allah's right hand~ as handprints touch the chair's gilded lip you are teaching my impatience patience my constant stirring to calmly unwind my tears to softly laugh and smile my fluttering heart to be still and taste the knowledge~ you seem at peace whilst i, i am at war with my skin's battleship.

"Water drowns the maiden and frees the lover,"

"Didst thou want to break heart virgin?"

"You are the proverbial light on the dark side of my unquiet mind"

"a precious new life has entered the world."

"What is it that transpires between them?"

.

"Thy invisible hand I grasp as you dry these moist tears."

"why not I?"

"screaming hunger of their unquiet flesh."

"i stand back in awe as you smile"

".....silence....."
