Love is a Light

Love is a Light
Quizmo LaGrande

There is a light
In the not so distant,
A light of potent youth.
In falling tears,
The light’s reflecting
In every drop
The truth.

In every heart
The light is kindling,
A slow and burning flame.
And know it’s true,
Sunshine’s insisting
Reflect off me and you
Respect of me and you.

You are the flame
My life’s intended.
You are my hope, my blush.
Our silhouettes,
As love’s extenders,
Illuminate the faithful trust.
Illuminate the faithful trust.

Our bodies weak
As raindrops thunder
To drench the hallowed light
But tallowed now,
The candle hungers
To burn in guiding white.

And like the rose,
Whose fragrant beauty
Seduces gentle hands,
Will stab and tear,
Thorn unexpected,
Bears plea to understand…
One needs a thorn to understand.

Love is a gem,
A gift to offer,
A rose, a brushstroke art.
Not to be pruned or dowsed or plundered.
But shine in every heart.
But shine divine in every heart.

Love is a light,
A power splendid,
A joy, at times unjust,
Our silhouettes,
As love’s extenders,
Reflect the burning trust.
Respect the burning trust.

You are my joy,
My life’s companion,
Lover, and faithful friend.
Our silhouettes
In love’s sweet canyon
Illuminate us to the end.
Illuminate us past the end.
