I 've played at love before, as careless lover,
V iewed prospects varied with a distant eye.
E nchantment with enchantment would supply
P art-time employment, feelings undercover.
L ove's osmosis, I dared not discover,
A s empathy gives depth few care to try.
Y et should now lightning strike, - my quest's reply -
E nlightenment which lets the soul recover
D elight to light the will to live, not hover,
A t sea with self defied, I’d not deny
T he tenderness ‘One’ might personify.
L aughter shared may heaven on earth uncover.
O thers would seem sad ghosts, drift drab or worse -
VE rsifying here I wait, rehearse...
