What about Love

What about love -
the silent stalker, night walker,
weaver of dreams,
and fanciful flight
melting reason 
and blinding our sight.

What about love -
wielder of nettles and rose petals,
teasing us, pleasing us - 
with this dangerous dance.

What about love -
in its disguise, breathing sighs,
delivering kisses - 
and the ultimate bliss is
we believe, we believe
............. and surrender.

Not for the Faint of Heart Love is not for the faint of heart. To allow love,  answering its only need takes courage and a willingness to surrender blindly to the journey full of rocks and stony places. To stumble but not falter certain that love is a constant  which will carry us to safety, a straight line to the beloved  our ultimate destination.

Unravelling Time (For my mother lost to Alzheimers) The knot that holds all my days together is coming unravelled and all the roads I have travelled are separating, dispersing and fading into forgotten days; and all the ways of remembering are dismembering themselves like limbs lost in an accident, scattering across the landscape of a forgetful mind.  I wonder if the transition into oblivion will be painless. Will I know how to go  “gentle into that goodnight” and slow the pace, concede the race allowing amnesia to be my blanket? Or will I fight, as the poet directed,  for a reprieve, for more days  to learn new ways to build a wall  and forestall the unwanted invasion of my wandering senses.  It will be a prison without walls or wardens yet when I am finally lost I will still be me. Until then, I will be my own gatekeeper while I am still free -  and I can dream of better days.
