EXCERPTS FROM A POEM TITLED ""TWO LOVERS"" ""They were no lovers of things which make a sublime creature a pity No star royal rose from the heavens the day they met No banners were unfolded to greet them Flowers and roses, gifts to each other, they carted hidden in time They were not rich for poverty of spirit is an exorbitant price to pay a measure Poor they weren't for in the depth of scarcity they carried the spark of generosity On each other they set the truest bet the day they met The candles may flicker The sun may set But on the day they met it wasn't just a bet Of the two mortals the gods in envy stood For in all their glory as such they could not let go or would A prime condition of every loving living thing Two living things, two living things to the divine unintentionally they glowed A true measure A beacon to a shattered vessel The promise of another sailing ship All that is, is not what seems All the living things can be All living things can cease As they did fall the heavens wept, somber liquids called rivers and embracing expanses hereafter known as seas, mourning their parting afar.""
