Love’s Lexicon



Doubt the stars
are fire …
but never
doubt I love.
~ William Shakespeare
Absent in morning light
and afternoon’s white glare
sometimes obscure, distant
light years away
shrouded in cloud
blurred by winter’s wild nights
it is always there

in summer’s still evenings
it shines fiery bright
silver sparks tease the sea
patterns reconfigure

unlike the moon
it never wanes
it is undying fire

across an infinite blackboard
scripted forever
a lexicon of love
ageless, constant, endless
enduring, eternal
everlasting
perpetual, timeless
