Invocation

Invocation

The rain provides a comfort on blue mornings

Softly taps the metal patio cover

Salves a bleeding heart crying for mercy

Month of May I recollect my lover

If poetry has sorcery to summon

I conjure you in body and in spirit

Formulate a mantra to your heart

Praying that your mental ear will hear it

I call you from the heavens past the rain

Beyond the clouds to the immortal ceiling

Toward the limits of the brain I strain

Until its breakdown in a well of feeling

But what would be so bad about emotion

Should logic fall apart out of devotion?

My verses nothing more are than a potion

And your reply is to my heart a lotion
