The Artifice of Love
The Artifice of Love
The artifice of love is
engendered by frozen
lament of unslaked need.,,,
Rarely do two people come
together as wholes; whereas,
a union is to complete a puzzle...
The sunset sets to enact a drape
of dropping light as if to get it
exactly right for us...
We too try to get it right with
every kiss but only sound the
deed like a calliope …
whistling and hooting, trying
to find a semblance of cadence
that will suffice...
In the supposition of love, a
tabernacle is placed to light
the ignition …
Hearts like Buddha fields intersect
creating a Vesica Pisces of union as
a template.
Enter the trickster and wanton desires
replace all the petals of sacrifice
in the lotus of love.
An artifice is like a scaffolding to
hold up an edifice of love to stand
when all props are removed.
