Love

 In the childhood stories

The marked eye of the bird 

That forever slays the demon

That is love.

Love is 

That  teenage tension 

That made the compulsory re-vision 

The day before the examination

A joy.

Love is the ecstacy

Each time one 

Yet again attained 

The impossible. 

Love is 

The pit in the stomach

The silent scream

As the leaping flames

Consumed forever 

The dead 'body' of a much loved 'soul'.

Love is 

All that is intensely felt

On the pulse 

As the rebellion against banal boredom.

Love is 

That eternal faith 

Abloom again 

despite 

every deception

each negation.

Love is 

Yet again 

The knowing of the self.

Love is still again

Sailing in a leaking little boat

As around howls and rages 

The storm drunk ocean

And swing waves high as the heaven.

Love IS!
