Integrity

Integrity
Quizmo LaGrande

Noble ethics,
Noble mind?
Intrigue haste
Yet passion find.
Where are you;
Did I lose your faith?
I need your voice
I need your grace.
A found nobility
A sudden gust.
Integrity,
A pauper’s trust.
Please empty
All your faith in me
A bucket, well
To generous sea.
I promise to reflect
And hold,
Your love
Like none before me fold.
Where are you?
Don’t avoid
Lest destroy
Thy single touch
Of beauty thrust
Upon my heart.
Or stone’s cold throw
Upon my breast
A kiss untold.
Small death bestow.
