Love - Edwin Morgan

Love rules. Love laughs. Love marches. Love
is the wolf that guards the gate.
Love is the food of music, art, poetry. It
fills us and fuels us and fires us to create.
Love is terror. Love is sweat. Love is bashed
pillow, crumpled sheet, unenviable fate.
Love is the honour that kills and saves and nothing
will ever let that high ambiguity abate.
Love is the crushed ice that tingles and shivers
and clinks fidgin-fain for the sugar-drenched
absinth to fall on it and alter its state.
With love you send a probe
So far from the globe
No one can name the shoals the voids the belts the
zones the drags the flares it signals all to
leave all and to navigate.

Edwin Morgan
from Love and a Life (Glasgow: Mariscat, 2003)

I wonder if this is slightly misleading as the poem is only 8 lines long with a rhyme scheme of AAAABBA. The A lines are very long and rambling but contain one extended idea each with a strict rhyme at the end and the B couplet is very short in comparison. The line breaks suggest choice and enjambment and it would be clearer if the lines were as long as possible, with the run-on being at the end of the following line to indicate it is all one line as written. To have a written line printed across three lines is definitely confusing I think.<br /> <br /> I might choose a different image to go with it as well as Morgan's experience of homosexual love would have been less public, more forbidden.
