To fringed and tassel end apron string <br />to the rule of nature’s bag of waters <br />per chance to chance the greeting <br />teats extend to attend the child at play <br />beg the touch of gifts of meeting under <br />the somber feel of unassailable affairs <br />shut down under adrenalin’s sway down <br />under the slain but not turned away <br /> from wines of love <br />oil spread anoints controversy how <br />faithful love for love… grant to take <br />custody under principal ceilings hung <br />under the brush of sound under the <br />billow of skies against the sea under <br />arches and pillows that shield the light <br />from love’s poverty that rule of law <br />dispense suspend all that divides <br /> from thee the wine of love <br />drink to gather to sleep within <br />the lengths and under the slain <br />under the prisoners of adrenalin repel <br />the flow of issues rule of law dispel <br />suspending conscious dreams above <br />spirit grinds to a peace to indulge <br />and host the drink that boast of <br /> wines of love <br />ah! the drink of this is fire <br />to hunger more for more…for collar <br />and sleeve cuff for heavy starched belief <br />in the press toward the goal embraced <br />the hand held out to intercept <br />the forward pass trip to clown but fall <br />to ground to fail the tasteful desire <br /> for wines of love.<br /><br />Lee B.
