Love, Repeated Love Poem by rich soos

At that time your lips seek mine
with fiery flowers long recalled.
You are the love, repeated love.

Beloved and known to feed the
forgotten love of others with
extinguishing flames of fury.
You are the love, repeated love.

Your arms invite the entire width
of the land and the sky the oceans
and the moon from within your being
extinguishing the stars with wine.
You are the love, repeated love.

In the night you travel distances
uncomprehended and deep with tears
and loud cries and I watch faces
move from anguish to peace and back
and pray you will return at morning.
You are the love, repeated love.
