Egret
Egret
Permit me to
Unveil a secret
Though more a clue
A magical egret
A soul that flew
To places of wonder
And found in you
A love no other
My blood
Your song
The love the laughter
That mingles on
Both here and after
And when its done
You best be honest
How was your song?
Sung to the rafters
Here and beyond
With love with laughter
If my heartbeat beat both true and strong
And changed it not in rthymn
Then my heart would be a simple song with no variable derision
If each breath I take in depth and time
And changed it not its' limit
Then my breath would be a simple rhymn devoid of beautiful image
If the sound you make while telling your tale
Was similiar to a tether
Then each breathless pressure in the dark simply lacked both breadth and measure
Except my love not known anything
of coersion or expensive things
You know of heartbeats out of time
and breathless sights and complex rhymns
And songs both sung in light and shadow
compare you to a Goddess
And the God's they laugh until they sigh
A love more fare and modest
Not pain nor fear nor hate begin
A saline drip that froze within
The spectrum The light
The crystalline quip
"How do I love this Beast of Sin?"
