Where Is The Love

Black onyx, redeeming yourself, ten thousand eyes;
Year after year in darkness, and unuttered despair
Where is love, if not like a spirit founded
Like a spring, in an arid and barren dessert
Which neither vanish, nor pass away;
Commanding itself, like fortresses,
or flippant as waving sleeves;
Or guests seated without contempt, at a table;
Hunger sufficed, without Oxen laid bare

I ask you of this, putting down my oar;
The stream, under the far of sky;
The shadows soothing, lifting a tear,
under sheltered laughing moon;
Let none dispute love made
in heaven, firing alters as Seasons end;
Of Gods and heroes, lies swallowed up;
The smile among the flowers

The virginal Iris, forming purely consistent,
as infernal and heavenly faces;
Of the same divine power, idealizing,
as mankind's fragrant hands prepare;
Diverting themselves hardy;
Foolishly composed, heavily
separated, of unequal reeds !
With sentence lesser, overruled by Heavens

....Where is the love?
