Against No Tears

Against No Tears

To hold Her soft!, against no tears at all
and pull Her close—a handkerchief's dry,
who aids such condolence but Love's firm tall?
To pull Love loving closer—Heart is why!
Keener to this perception infinite;
A poet His muse & motif as be—
This! may speak volumes in Lit. definite;
A heart as Shelly, Dickerson—I be!;:
A poet amongst poets—Hence! here with
spoken as Giovanni, Forst, and June
arriving as an act of Love, gives gifts enwidth;
parallel the art to craft its good tune
exercises insistence effectual
as Pen-to-Scribe Love's thoughts substantial—
