To His Love

Come away, come, sweet love,
The golden morning breaks,
All the earth, all the air
Of love and pleasure speaks,
Teach thine arms then to embrace,
And sweet rosy lips to kiss,
And mix our souls in mutual bliss.
Eyes were made for beauty’s grace,
Viewing, rueing love’s long pain,
Procur’d by beauty’s rude disdain.
Come away, come, sweet love,
The golden morning wastes,
While the sun [...]

This Faraway Thing

Tonight I sit surrounded by poetry, the beauty of it all bringing my emotions to the surface.  There is so much I wish to say to you and yet I think that chance will never come.  If I knew even for a moment that you were here, and you knew the words were for you, [...]

If You Were Coming in the Fall

If you were coming in the fall,
I’d brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.
If I could see you in a year,
I’d wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.
If only centuries delayed,
I’d count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my [...]

Sometimes Love Finds You

Sometimes love finds you
when you least expect it
when you stop looking
when you stop trying
and sometimes when you stop remembering
what you thought love should be.
It is then a window opens
and you are caught on the breeze
that rushes in, swirling around you
leaving you forever changed.
What you know from that day
is that everything else [...]

Oh Beloved

Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.
Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you
Rumi

An Autumn Day

You came to me in a Autumn
and like the first crisp breeze of morning
took my breath away
opening a window to my heart
and lighting a passion in my soul.
My breath is still yous,
stolen on that Autumn day
and the window to my heart
is forever open
for you alone to pass.

Love’s Secret

Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

Shadows and Dreams

It has been days since I have felt connected to you. I found myself wrestling with fears that the absence of all that was familiar would cause those things to vanish.  Of course it was only fatigue and a mind filled with the many details of a move. So often I closed my eyes, trying to [...]
