Lighting the Candle
While I watch the end roll into sight
And the beginning find the guillotine
I turn to the last page
My only sage
In this life-saving form
That takes the blame
Poetry you radiate and shine
Dictate and dine
Guide and a fierce wind ride
You are my karma
My armor
How I know your fantastic symphony
Soulful ramparts
And grow the infinite mystery
That is your possibility
That Famous Form
(Dedicated to my Fiancée Patricia Murphy)
From the sundrenched hair
To the atomic glare
Down to the loving stare
I adore you
My lithe lioness
My full-bosomed lair
On this island of bear
Skin soft as a Daisy
Eyes bright as rubies
That formidable form
Nuclear storm
Fantastic norm
Not to be forgotten
Soul never rotten
Heart made of Southern cotton
Sense of humor like lush motten
