Were Love Writ

Were Love writ

as a fiction page

what outpourings of bliss

though temporary

there would be

no stress or tension

doth attend

to fan and to stretch

the raging storms of the heart



Were love writ

as a fiction page

no need there would be

to risk looking into your eyes

asking mutely

whether you understand

that the songs that I sing

are owned by you

only for you

though the vastness

daunting

separate



Were love writ

as a fiction page

all would end well

The ride towards

a western's sunset

on a lone horse

with the melody

trailing behind

like the train

of a bride's gown

flowing, caressing

tenderly brushing

a church's mid-aisle floor



O were love writ

as a fiction page

I would not

howl for the moon

nor like salmon

swim against the current

to its final rest



And O were love writ

like the usual fairy tale

happily lived ever after

he loves her

she loves him

in the words of Sting

that would be boring



And O were love writ

like a tragedy

that would withstand

the passage of time

it has been said

painful but interesting

that would keep love

burning in many hearts

even as it dies

a mere wisp of smoke

from its former blaze

as it struggles after life

for the cup of sorrow

never empties

but the cup of joy

dries out

as extraordinariness

can not keep long

from being spent

and rendered

ordinary
