INTO THE HEART TUMBLING




THERE BE MAGIC AT THY FINGERTIPS
BE CAREFUL, DOES THOU NOT KNOW THE POET
IS ALSO SUCEPTIBLE TO THOSE WELL-PLACED WORDS
THE SEMANTIC LOVER OF THE HEART
AND ROMANTIC WEAKLING THAT HE IS?

IT IS NOT SO OFTEN THAT POET FINDS SUCH
DEFINING WORDS OF POETRY FROM THEE
SCRIBBLED UPON HIS HEART'S DOOR
WITH SUCH GRATITUDE OF FEELING....
AND POIGNANT ACCURACY.

WHAT CAN HE SAY........ BUT
THAT IT HUMBLY DEFINES HIM SO WELL,
AND SWINGS THE DOOR OPEN WIDE
THAT HE HIMSELF SURPRISINGLY TUMBLES
INTO THE SAME SWEET FRAGRANCE
LIKE SOME IGNORANT PLOW BOY
BEREFT OF VIRTUES FROM THE HEART....?

WHAT IS IT THAT THE POET SEES
AND FEELS
AND HEARS
AND TASTES
AND SMELLS
LIKE UNTO THE ELIXIR OF FRESH RAIN
ANOINTING A THIRSTY, DREAMY FOREHEAD....

IS IT BUT THE RETURN OF LOVE UPON A WING
FROM THE WORDS THE POET TRIED TO SING
LIKE UNTO AN INNOCENT CHILD'S
FIRST DISCOVERY OF AMAZEMENT,
AND THAT HAS MEANT EVERYTHING
THAT SENT THE READER
INTO THE HEART TUMBLING....?
