The Quintessence of Love
      
Midnight windows…
empty mirrors…
(of iridescent dreams
and fire-lit memories)
reflecting vast, distant
  moments
in ungoverned forests,
beneath a moon-burned
sea of stars and frozen time,
where lonely souls in endless
  wander...
quest and query
nebulous shades and shadows
for the quintessence of Love!
               ~

When I have to build a stall in a barn I use minimalistic constructionalism because I am an incurable romantic about horses. Ungoverned forests are a blast. Liked it.

The special word here for me is quintessence, the fifth element. (Air, water, earth, fire, and... ether.) In Greek, áἰèÞñ means the clear sky where the gods lived and the pure air they breathed. What a pleasure to see that word again, and how fine to see it in the service of poetry and love.

"Midnight windows…"

and there it begins speaking itself poet
from the tip of your pen
the mirror of your mind

excellent
