Agape

These thoughts that spill from my heart
Still scented in after rain
These gems in store
Worthy of still more
Wide open and unconditional

My fortune and my gift
Vesseled in the bruised dimensions
Of a fully beating desire
Flint to steel frees the fire
Though I do shiver in your sight

Not ever certain of the right
To reach into mist or persuade your eyes
Until I have denied my own blindness
Is love not the universe of kindness,
Smooth wings and sky of gestures mindless

A brush and canvas weightless
As the light of perfume
That we wear and share
Never washed away
Even in the tears

a fine poem! (that I wish had a title which better
matched the pleasantness of the poem)…

I LOVE:

“…thoughts that spill from my heart
Still scented in after rain;

“….To reach into mist or persuade your eyes
Until I have denied my own blindness”;

and especially the ending:

“A brush and canvas weightless
As the light of perfume
That we wear and share
Never washed away
Even in the tears”

applause!!

Thanks so much for all your encouragements Bruce. The title here, may be misinterpreted. It was intended to be agape, with a shot over the e, which my computer won't make.
A Native term meaning all and completely.
Agape Love.
I may have to seek better spelling.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

   figure out how to correctly handle
   'special characters'; etc. on the

Is love not the universe of kindness,
Smooth wings and sky of gestures mindless

elegant as always
your words brush
light the canvas
of white
