Crooning over stones

Many a night  
we have dabbled in lustfulness  
Sparing only  
the mark  
of the swoon
In songs, we lament  
when they move on  
our needs  
left unmet
Our yearnings, clipped
Through gestures
we create  
vessels of verdict
Bereft of poise
But not I  
I’ve kept true love, undying
lain at the shores  
of commitment  
dip me into the liquid of life
bathe me in adoration
to enhance
the flow of emotions  
Crooning  
over
stones
Dissolving lonesomeness  
into streams of connection
Clarity
churning amid
the coupled melody  
of whirlpools
The filtering of absolution
grasping at the silken water  
letting it drip through my fingers
coursing
across natures design
Capturing depth as I sway
Delving into the black
to maintain the light
Evocative impulse
harnessing  
the power of resolve
Live for the longing
survived by the union
Justified in these moments
