Shall and Because.
Because each granite-necked minute strangles
past bliss shall grief\'s set vessel so anchored
reach love\'s fair coastline no more ?
Shall a tear-drenched spark within dark\'s loss
not fire venturesome\'s calling ?
Because a pearl\'s open glint becomes staved
on grave\'s barrier-reef shall learning re-train
or stay blind to mere chances ?
Shall a caged heart\'s talons gnawing at need
not seek to call for balance ?
Because cinders get cold when unbellowed
shall a fresh spark not hold similar knowing
when and how to light contact ?
Shall stalled life not take offered moreness
and share another romance ?
