On the edge we stand ready to jump, From the edge we look out and see emptiness. At our limits, we extend a leg over, but are hauled in by happiness, Pulled back from the brink and reminded that love makes everything an insignificant stump. Sand in the shoes, hair a total mess, You think […]
‘Twas noontide of summer, And mid-time of night; And stars, in their orbits, Shone pale, thro’ the light Of the brighter, cold moon, ‘Mid planets her slaves, Herself in the Heavens, Her beam on the waves. I gazed awhile On her cold smile; Too cold- too cold for me- There pass’d, as a shroud, A […]
Come, pensive Autumn, with thy clouds and storms And falling leaves and pastures lost to flowers; A luscious charm hangs on thy faded forms, More sweet than Summer in her loveliest hours, Who in her blooming uniform of green Delights with samely and continued joy: But give me, Autumn, where thy hand hath been, For […]
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever; Ae fareweel, alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee!

I wake, I shudder, I look around for you, yet I cannot gather, I can’t upon you gaze and feel your touch, I stumble and falter. Yet I know deep within you’re always keeping me company, As your voice reaches me through the phone, As I read your words online and all my woes no […]
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste […]
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever […]
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, […]
