your love alone
a garland cinquain
kiss me
like that once more,
that i may know how deep
the fountains of love’s aquifer
reside.
reside
where shines the sun,
ere morning arrows past
and too soon evening covers me
with gloom.
with gloom
shall i not walk,
though heavy shadows stir
an appetite for requiem.
begone,
begone,
sad countenance!
what now the warbler’s song:
your song alone of love shall yet
my heart,
my heart
re-elevate.
for it esteems your name,
and every mountain quakes when you
kiss me.
kiss me
where shines the sun,
though heavy shadows stir;
your song alone of love shall yet
kiss me.

Thank you, Ahavati!
This is my first attempt at a garland cinquain. I daresay, it takes some calculation to let the final stanza coincide with the successive lines of the preceding stanzas.
In the long run, it is more than worth the effort.
Sincerely
