How can I COMPUTE love’s DATABASE? <br />Thus WATCH as saintly love, God IN THE END, <br />INCHes its way into immortal life’s ASSURANCE <br />in the seeming OYSTER of my heart? <br /> <br />As SPAM is to the living red-blood MEAT, <br />or TURKISH harem to a WEDDING vow, <br />so are my SPIRITS to your LONGed-for BEAUTY; <br />thrice DISTILLED within th’alembic of my soul, <br />since but EXTENSION of your SATISFACTION, <br />the PLEASING of your BEAUTY, is the FASHION <br />of my so painful-LENGTHENED, longing love? <br /> <br />You, the LONG-LASTING perfect pearl, <br />the faithful JEWEL ’ twixt the BREASTS <br />of Venus’ very self. Though mortal flesh <br />may wither, crumble and to DEATH, DECAY, <br />love’s ROCK, love’s MUSIC, live eternal FRESH, <br />and jewelled STONES and SOUNDS proclaim Your day. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(acknowledgements to my agent, Bill Wordsworth-Cash)<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/metaphysical-weblink-love-poem/
