A Love Poem

For Elise

Did the flamed Sun arrest Her rise?

And place your Soul’s orb next to mine?

Do the Spheres once more sing and dance?

And Time forgive my arrogant laugh?

My ancient betrayals, my games of pain

These kissing Spheres love Angels again

My punctured skin, lowered to your lips

Your hurt ocean spumes, accepts this bliss

Your caverned mysteries invite me near

Concealed in patience whilst I learned to care

The Dance Eternal - all teachings I rejected

My folly to possess repaid with nought

My fool of false passion- Real Love evicted

The human I was did brag and slaughter

Fat Infinity, blue-bright with tales and tasks

Cool flames new Suns, new Worlds, old Hearts

My forgiving Star argued above

And gave this thief Elise to Love
