On Will Shakespeare’s 400th Death Anniversary...

HOMAGE TO WILL S.
THE ONE MAN
WHO TAUGHT ME
TO CALL THE MALE
OF THE SPECIES
BLESSED

Upon my soul
I do declare,
There is no more
To desire in this life;

No fire of ambition
Can compare
To the ecstasy
Of gazing into your eyes
And seeing the spirit-flame
Of mirrored passion there.
