For Lauentin,
Balance of Love
Love is ill and a freak
Demands body and blood
Its overwhelming flood
Might build an empire.
But if a hurricane
Passes by in its tracks
It will leave you battered
Broken, bleeding, scattered.
It will whirl your whole soul
To rise anew and fight
This love that you long
For. Track… tame…. that tired light.
Across the world and through fire
Into the seas or volcanoes.
Anywhere on the planet
It is YOU that I await!
Yes, I’ve found you my sweet respite
My precious ocean stone, my burning candlelight.
