For What Is Love
For what is love
when lust, now cool,
sits idly in a nested spool?
What fuels the flame
banks, tends the fire,
ignites the coolness of desire?
When looks can scorch
a silent room, a glance
rekindle romance
a distant wink
a lingering gaze
set love’s memories ablaze.
For love is not a what
or when, nor is it but
a now and then
it is the lovers
simmering lust
embers of a timeless trust.
