Of love

   
     Of  love
               so quick to tongue
     be wary
               tis for young to learn
     we fail by falling
               in and out
     qualified to earn
               how happy     how sorry

     subject to poet's metaphor
               this esteemed estate
     where selves subsumed
               fall under sway consummate
     beyond fancy or expectation
               synthesis
     opening out
               what we share commonly
     and how different
               to meet     to hear     to explore
     this fair intimacy
               arriving through hardihood and puissance
     at matched experience
               cherished in contemplation
     and enjoyed as it unfolds
               so to let be let be
     let become what becomes
