Dream-Love

      Young Love lies sleeping In May-time of the year, Among the lilies, Lapped in the tender light: White lambs come grazing, White doves come building there: And round about him The May-bushes are white. Soft moss the pillow For oh, a softer cheek; Broad leaves cast shadow Upon the heavy eyes: There [...]

My Love

My love is constant without words, words that sometimes leave me, for just a while. When others might think I have forgotten, it does not matter. Through the hours and days, you are with me. You awaken me to the sunrise and carry me to my sleep. Softly you move with me, my heartbeat tied to each breath you [...]

Language

“Never has language seemed wondrous to me in another, or how you make me love language. Do we not speak to each other as the stars speak to earth and the earth to the stars? Just that our speech is not silence, not comic silence, but language, the language of human beings.” ~ By Rainer [...]

No Obsession

Tonight as I sat working on the day’s tasks your name came up, why I can’t be sure and I was told quite out of the blue that you were an obsession. The words cut at my heart as obsession is something you have never been. My life goes on, as does yours and there [...]

And yet this time removed was summer’s time, The teeming autumn, big with rich increase, Bearing the wanton burden of the prime, Like widow’d [...]

From The Sea

All beauty calls you to me, and you seem Past twice a thousand miles of shifting sea, To reach me. You are as the wind I breathe Here on the ship’s sun-smitten topmost deck, With only light between the heavens and me. I feel your spirit and I close my eyes, Knowing the bright hair [...]

Come Live With Me

Come live with me and be my love,  And we will all the pleasures prove  That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,  Woods or steepy mountain yields.  And we will sit upon the rocks,  Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,  By shallow rivers to whose falls  Melodious birds sing madrigals.  And I will make thee beds [...]

Come Silently Like the Moon

I resurrected this one from an earlier post. As I was gazing at beautiful paintings of the night, it came to me and I remembered how much I loved it and him, of course. O, my love Come silently in the middle of the night As gliding moonlight With your tender touch Bring sweet dreams [...]
