Love Is the Law

Please let me love, forgetting the drab
Overcast skies; give me that ease
Prayers answered give to the good;
Pardon the heart that so readily threw
Everything under your feet, that would ski
Thoughtlessly over the hills to the flat
Ground. Let love run riot as though
Expectant of pleasure and certain of play:
Right is whatever love wants you to do.
Turn your face, darling, and let me adore you,
Radiant, yes, to the last power of pi:
Understand always the plot of the stars
Directing your footsteps wherever you go,
Enter the kingdom where lovers have luck.
