the pain of the lover
Caused by her own willful neglect
Of her honor and dignity
In false passion's fire
// ( with thanks to Dylan Thomas ) //
After the first Disgrace
There is no other
••
••
Never shall I
Humiliate true love by
Glorifying
The careless abusiveness
That obliterates real passion and real feeling
By describing it as being devoid
Of shared commitment to Human Destiny
//
In the solemnity of real graves
Heroes turn over just to see
One more glimpse of THE CHILD 'S EYE
filled with the light of God
And holding ALL as lovers in
Heart and mind
••
Never shall I weep or care again
For the pain felt by
****** desire denied
When the human spirit
( whose truth is seen )
Is treated so lightly
And with such distain
••
Where nothing is learned
But how to create
Fantasies of future revenge
//
After the FIRST DISGRACE
there is no other
••
after the dying song
.......
No !
There is no other
