Love’s Guiding Light

Love's Guiding Light
Love’s Guiding Light…paths of jeopardy

Guiding light…

At least by light,
the travail of love’s path,
candle-lit and in spite
of worry laden roads of fouling tides,
guided home in compromise,
a single light my inspired tour,
of life’s implicit tirade.

Love be the straight road I follow,
yet stones and refuse laden tracks
amass upon my trodden way,
warnings strewn in vast array,
where light barely touches eyes,
and what manner of ghosts do spy,
to nudge me off my path.

Intrepid I, to even take this ride,
this undulating journey,
where love’s sweet song
does entreat a heart to sacrifice all reason,
and stay that path so long,
just for a moment of bliss,
a soft warm kiss to stave off the chilling night.

Then home, once found,
in love’s embrace as songs resound,
and struggle ceases to be,
love just forges everything,
life transformed and thoughts profound
as melding hearts are stilled,
always worth the climb,
the summit our greatest thrill.

    Never will there be an end to the beauty love inspires – and you sure know how to phrase it in words, Tony. Some day I hope to live such love, till then I will take pleasure in your wonderful poetic verses.
