A Glance Cast

Replete with electric love and filled with

Sensual charge, your stirring stare surges forth

Sharp power all through, heretofore missed

But now coursing into an infinite core

To where no time sits nor moves. And this,

Your gaze, regenerates a world, again alive,

As when receiving an enchanted spark that lifts

Embryonic growth. Then all unfurls and thrives

Like the special start creating true life that is,

And blooms in a thousand million kind of ways.

This, done quick, is what your giving glance gives.

And this, in abundance, is what your single look gave.

A flood of wine, it irrigates and runs a course.

In a corpus blast a universe inflates.

Red rivers rush from the central pumping source

And, in flux and flow, body begins to populate.

A burst within of blood and bone, the mingle and mix,

The thrust and bulge of veins like forest vines

In rhizomatous splendour sown from one look fixed;

All entwined, delicate, tendrilous and tined,

Lush and alive again. No mystery at

All. An atom eye, the creative causal kind,

Is what commenced a dilating heart

And vitalized till now a dormant mind

Once more. The eye or gaze? No need to ask if

One or all. For that gleaming glint is when

Those special things in tandem lithely lifts

A spirit that hopes to do it all again.
