Eagle of love

Scour below the painted cloud
my purpose so bewitched
 (I held the fluttering within my breast
to glide the heights above distress)

For I was launched above of faith
bound in a claw, held a righteous ace
and prayer would free the binding chain
and clean the mind from all distain

Reap the blush of each new dawn
(for what was I, but tied to ground, with wings that fanned
the escape that fletching did transform)
my dreams combine, rise like thermals from the land

 I will pray and dive and swoop
romance is the quarry in my slow orbit
in ecstasy to loop the loop
the chase that is almost ever torrid

Circle high against the day
and love will lock its talons tight
imperious in my display
warm desire, the relish of my plight

I came and went and never lost
from aloft, aspy the smallest sign
to seek through times eternal watch
and claim the bride that would be mine
