TRIPPING A FANTASTIC THRESHOLD

Yin lightness feathers infatuation

Tripping a lover over his charm

What cause is he of ardent attention

When is heart is worn on his arm


Yang his dark full shadowed passion

Wounds all in the way of his pride

Do lips cursing direction

Have the right of way to a bride


A trinity of themes and oneness

Cross all borders to stand

At the threshold of aloofness

Love plays every instrument in his band

    All of your poems make me imagine carnival as background! This one has steel drums backing.

    I love the rich textures and subtle nuances of the interaction between these two. She knows the moods of her lover and is intoxicated by them.
