The Courtship Carousel
Poet’s wild fables of love’s souvenirs
Inked with fire or tears render passions creed
Ghosts reminiscent of past loves appear
Whose obsessions purge as a ransomed deed
A crowned fool of lovers our pen invites
Igniting hearts or be drowned in sorrow
Sweet words tumble or tears flood moonlit nights
Lit by starlit schemes musing tomorrow
Kings and Queens, Pawns in romantic stories
Each chapter written between truth and dreams
For artful love portrays splendid glories
The courtship circus reckons each sweet theme
Love does find its own, love does own what’s found
Its carousel in our heart’s madness bound
