Transliteration: Charis (Gk.); look it up

Such love eschews,
Such love ferments,

Such love’s a threat
In the present tense.

What sort of ruse

Or malcontent

Could hence beget

This grand offense?

My heart to choose,

Nay, circumvent

The joys that whet

My soul intense.

Too much to fuse

To weak cement.

Too great a debt

To thus dispense.

These filthy shoes,

You won’t relent;

My bleak vignette,
Your smile immense.

Your words bemuse

Yet give, augment,

Provided yet
With no expense.

To me, of you

No sounds misspent
A one-sided duet

With thick incense

Such love in hues

Shall not fragment.

Such love is eternal

In the present tense.
