COURTLY LOVE *

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

you who says it best
writes the right
empties the flaw
makes motions of might
and shadows seem small

I am but the favorite courier
of your love
though this is something
you would sing to the clouds
a praise higher than
the lawns in heaven above
you were misery
before my presence
came to crowd
this heart of yours
that beats in echoes
so dully loud

our love is courtly
and graceful
unpretentious and pure
you are a gentleman
so genuine and most tasteful
beloved and sure

you know your place
in this world
though
you question many things
but always so to better learn
becoming a revolution
of sorts unto self
many listen when with your
pen you sing.....

life is melodic
when I look at it through
the abundance and diversity
of your words
there is sadness certainly
but you rarely dwell on
the absurd

though through a soiled medium
you apply your trade
the high road you never
let slip far from your sight
I, in a crowd of many
faceless others
admire you greatly
for me you are pleasure
that shines in the face of
delight

others may love you more
or even claim near as much
as God
but I love you best
for me you are the reason
each morning the sun rises
to steal the day from the night

and in these words
some clash comes out of season
but never again for me
comes there any fright

why should there be
when with your pen's sword
you shelter me
with all your
beautiful heart's might.................
