Love is a magical moment
played out in the shadows
Of a mystical dance
among spires and towers
A Gothic drama in an
Italian village
A Renaissance Fair in a
Turkish Bazaar
It is color, tragedy
and intensity
All mixed in fragments
of abstraction
A dynamic gust of
cold
Warm winds sweeping
through the corridors
Of an ancient castle
And love in the shadows
Candles and minstrel
music
Or the thunder of a
commuter train
Doors banging and
distant footsteps
Nearer, door closing
Lovers lying loving
In the city flat
or the castle tower
On a moonlit beach
or in hell's dominion
Love plays out its tune
Whispering its designs
in delightful sensuous
strokes of soft touches
Sweet, sweet lips
engaging
And always that
intermingling of colors
Fragments in ecstasy
Vivid, vital vibrant
movements
In the shadows of
a lovers meeting
A magical, mystical
drama of a moment
In life's tortuous play
