The
Illuminates
striding onto a ribboning path
aware of the impact their scenes of love
conjure-shimmer upon remote romances
magically mystically brought near
The
Illuminates
Igniting impassioned scenes left in
the litter-flotsam of mild milky memory
Rising from such mildewed lifeless sea-pool
Breaking surface as a whale on the tip of a tail
Filled with thrumming need, gleaming
as sun-soaked light follows a storm
The
Illuminates
sign a contract for marriage soon to come - pen sparks dancing witnesses
sign a contract for marriage soon to come - pen sparks dancing witnesses
freeing the flickered fire of a once-aflame love
beyond earthly price - and all smile
The
Illuminates
breathing life into the spectre of a younger day
blowing away the hum-drum haunt of what once was
blazing the power-promise of this present and all that will come to pass
The
Illuminates
Children to parents – Parents to children
Bonded in boundless bounty
Bathed in coupled and collective
Luminosity
Lush, insatiable immortality shining in the eyes of
children yet unborn
children yet unborn
links added, the gleaming chain continues
unbroken
and all smile as love illuminates the rainiest corners of each pounding heart
and all smile as love illuminates the rainiest corners of each pounding heart
