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 ?

'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 ?'
(I just wanted to unravel and point out
that magic flow, you hide - knowingly
so we lesser scribblers, can get a glimpse
of your Poetry's
unquestionable brilliance, dear Fay)
A great write!
Ah -- you are more than kind in your perceptive reviews of my poetic efforts dear friend - - am pleased you picked up and enjoyed the word-flow.
Really good write, Fay.
Thanks a load Jerry.
You have the mastery of using the features of a revered creature and poetize it to reflect the emotions of another.
I am honoured you feel that about my work Suresh - a myriad thank yous for your visit and comment.
Many memorable phrases to enjoy =>
"Because cinders get cold when unbellowed." There's a lot there!
Am delighted you liked the phrasing of my take on finding love again after grief.
Good words Fay.

Yes dreaming is essential for keeping our heads above troubled water my friend. Glad you enjoyed my words about love.
