SUCH IS THE WAY OF LOVE
by James Daron Starr
Oh sweat whispering of innocent smiles
Held so tenderly within a shadow's glow
It reveals shapes of brief, devious wilds
Spoken by words that touch can only know
Searching upon unseen passages of our form
Encouraged by gestures of the other's guide
Finding, reaching, sloping hills of that warm
Embrace as do our thoughts together confide
That we, together truly find will to express
Those emotions that sparkle within our mind
Of desires and feelings devoured in a madness
Of passion's kiss that two souls would bind
Like parts of a magical charm within dreams
That we somehow are led to our destined mate
Finally meeting mysterious as it often seems
As though like strange & fairy-tale like fate
