A Question of Love
by Carrie Schneider


Why are you here?
To cultivate my mind
and make my insides blossom
to create a ring in my ears
piercing my silence.

To make me moan with pleasure
by your hidden smile.
Do you think you know me?
Do you?

How did this come about?
That I was the one you choose,
along the ocean waves of  bridled haze,
majestic in the pearl moon.

My eyes aglow
from the beauty of a shiny rose,
and dancing lilies in a pond.

Puddles of murky gray
cast their dismal rays upon my soul.
Yet, the revealing glow of your smile,
dissolves the sadness for awhile.

Overflowing exuberance
illuminates my soul!
You are my wick,
Light my candle-
Make me burn!
