For Love
I always write
2
Armageddon
From heaven I must move, to another heaven still,
With hope that withstand ‘’nature’s changing course’’,
From myself I must move, to her greater will,
That sweetness and joy may with love endorse,
So shiny seems the world, yet with a gloomy sign,
That hope with fear now with each mix,
Day and night, love with love intertwine,
Days are weeks, months counted as six,
With proximity a real heaven is at hand,
With logic, poison to the heart,
No more can my heart withstand,
This reason, which my mind must depart,
For reason or love, should I now hold thee?
For both are must, they both assure me,
3
why in Heaven's name am i dejected less?
when heaven and earth must now collide,
dost she agree, saying that she depress?
or fancy hast this thought hither provide,
i'll mourn less, and hopefully either she,
for wished i, harm thither never come,
no harm she dost, if to my invite disagree,
for death we transcend, this easily overcome,
i'll mourn less, for this and thee another sign,
for purpose most high, to tell thee i pray,
where in heaven we may rest, eternal reign,
as to a Alastor suggested once by Shelley,
not for earth or form i call upon thy help,
for in heaven we may laugh or weep…
4
Emerson, dont tell me what i already know,
Steal not my heart, but seek a greater mind,
Address me well, say thou felt'st so and so,
Shy less, utter more, say not I'm love-blind,
For thy greater message i know, love's love,
Tho that thy mind deny thee such a bless,
List not to thy mind, his prison disapprove,
And to thy sweet lovely heart digress,
And if thou know not how to love, I will,
Blessedly then mentor thee to break free,
Here my hand, i stretch, break Thyself's cell,
Transcend Thyself to thine own greater thee,
For myself I call not so that thy aid to bring,
But mine greater self with thine may sing,
5
you cannot kill me when i am dead,
dear love, no more to thee i am bent,
“the marriage of true minds” is halt, reasoned,
from high heaven to down earth is sent,
reason in love? who is that so fool?
to think such high to such low could mix,
ah, i am that fool who surrend his soul,
to love and to reason, i stand betwix,
quanta dead, quanta alive, evermore,
she keeps my mind and heart to sway,
who is she? love? sweet and sore,
so close, yet far from her i stay,
so close to love, when i talk to thee,
never cease and to eternity talk with me,
6
Such muse may never cease, thou art here,
Unlike that which flickered with moving time,
What seemed eternal, now cannot bear,
To stand against thy sweet undying rhyme,
I pray, that this rhyme may forever reek,
To guide every lost heart or fluctuate mind,
To trust and follow what thy heart seek,
If to love, and never abide with mind's side,
List not by mind to this, let thy heart judge,
For it is forged by the scent of true love,
Let thy heart's ache be none but a bridge,
To have thy mind and heart at peace move,
Who art thou? Who taught me to love thee so,
Where love surpass life and even himself outgrow,
7
O rose, what inventions dost thy purpose amends?
What love lay waste, what sentiments to heal,
What death thy perfume could wake, what ends,
What hidden secrets could thy meanings reveal,
O, if not by a glorious hand thou art plucked,
And to me offered by her gracious grace,
I would such actions abhor or even mocked,
To murder innocence to bring out peace,
Sweet murderer, i love thee, kill me as such,
As that poor flower thou kindly annihilate,
Bid my muse end, love me less or much,
That thy love may bid mine heart sedate,
If thou selfish, refused thus my dear love,
Thy heart i assure thee, kindly dost approve,
8
What needs thou of other's judgement though?
When thou hast the universe within thee converge,
Care less of others, but for thy greater self do,
Careful, take heed, and built up a better personage,
Fie the world, dear love, for we are here,
Him, the leaf, and me, a second family,
Hark to our song, and our agonies hear,
So thou mayst find solace to thy melancholy,
And better we may, to a better world then grow,
Where peace and kindness lead us home,
Where we converse in light, darkness outgrow,
And to eternity live in high Xanadu's dome,
For we are nothing but subjects to His gracious grace,
He May from darkness restore, and let us his light embrace,
9
So kind of you to let thy muse flow,
Feeding my dying soul so kindly,
And kinder then if my heart gently bow,
Before thy sweet and gentle thee,
Bring me down, o love, tame my muse,
When thy greater muse loudly chime,
Kill me with words, my heart softly abuse,
For it is hurt, then revive it with magic rhyme,
Hold me prisoner, build me a better cage,
Tame my love with words that kindly kill,
Cruel-kind thou, hinder my heart's forage,
And bend my will before thy greater will,
O love, no will i have, but that speaks of thee,
No more i am, its thee what now i call me,
10
An angel i know from heaven to earth is sent,
Troubled, lost is chaos, and misplaced,
It spake to my heart, "can thou my song consent?"
I knew then, that we can with each transcend,
From afflictions love sprang, reeking to heaven,
Feeding from misery and to hope thus longs,
From heaven to heaven and by heaven driven,
From sadness to happiness evoking their songs,
Many ghost i pass, but one angel i know,
She spake to my silent heart, thus i hark,
From sadness her song, less sad grow,
That hope might finally find its lost spark,
But anon, to darkness she retreat, i fear,
That then i might lose my heart's glare,
11
Prometheus, thief, bring back my heart,
For what purpose makes thee so cruel?
To feed the world? I know not such part,
From thee, nor of that yor talsmanic soul,
But hast thou now a Mariner became?
Purged, by graces given from above,
Dost thou now, abhor this earthly frame?
And venture to heaven with self-less love,
Whose that light that driven thee there?
Where love, reason, hope, all be mixed,
A nightingale? A hermit? A Piper's flair?
Or Heaven's greater muse got thee fixed,
Steal my soul but let me live with thee,
There i might rest, and lost shall never be,
12
They say, two spirits the journey need,
To heaven, if they seek to revelate,
Or move past of nature, with God's speed,
Or to a higher Seat, if they seek to elevate,
So kinder be, O love, and join my trip,
So from this harsh world we may survive,
To each we guard, then to each kindly help,
So our flames and frames we may revive,
For there rests a light, so generously pure,
They say, that mends the spirits of men,
And further even his frail frame may cure,
And restore his lost to a high heavenly den,
Wilt thou then, O love, kind be with me,
Join this trip, to reach higher me and thee,
13
I will not clutch, O love, to thy “vestures hem,”
But love that part of thee which to mine allure,
Canst thou see? I'm out of this earthly realm,
To Heaven, a light i see calling me so pure,
A journey is due, i can no more with thee hold,
But to venture that world of endless bless,
I call now, so as not thou might call me bold,
To leave thee back in this transcendence,
Or if thou hast such an attentive ear,
Hark then, to the song of spirit and heart,
List by thy heart and with thy spirit hear,
My muse, that invites thee to such depart,
Hear this, O love, i love to journey with thee,
Wilt thou then join this heavenly trip with me?
14
Take this slant of verse for thy eyes are much,
More than that with which my heart can endure,
When signaling mine defect, i can't be but such,
Weakness to obey, with murmuring heart "sure sure"
Signal me more, make silly or wise excuse,
To bring my dying heart close to thy higher state,
Scold me, O love, my verse praise then abuse,
Let me forever hesitant, O my soul-mate,
But tender keep, when thou to my heart speak,
And gentle if thou mayst my eye address,
For they are hurt, afflictions turned them weak,
And life turned their heaven to endless abyss,
But Heaven lies within thy eyes, so i love thee,
And in heaven i live when thy eyes signal me,
15
Where to find love, tell me? love, O my dear,
That like thy mind's sweetness possess,
Or like thy heart, stubborn, sheds no tear,
For love, nor for thy sweet childhood digress,
For i used to seek a face among the crowd,
That my heart used to remedy, now in vain,
The world full of ghosts, i seek thy greater mind,
That surpass men's minds, a greater woman,
Answer my love, O dear, be kind or cruel,
And hold me not much to thy hesitation,
Cut my muse, from thy self-generating fuel,
Or let it loose upon my heart by thy confirmation,
Hold me not much hesitant, for i love thee,
Be cruel with me, then tell thou loves me,
16
So soon, untimely, the journey is due,
When spake thou to me with Armageddon,
To lose one’s self, is me losing you,
So sad, to be back in that dark prison,
A prison of love, lost to time and augury,
That hold one's heart as thou his mind,
To linger lost, uncertain for eternity,
With no wheels venture to aimless ride,
But from chaos the phoenix stately rise,
With aids of light and hints of faith,
The prison is must, for me, now i realize,
So one to life may rise out of gloomy death,
O, i thank thee, for thy push which set me there,
To leave earth's vain, and join Heaven's fair,
17
Praise me well, O love, so another image,
I may draw, unlike that thou perceivest
Where thou to love move, truly courage,
And thy mind no more thy heart deceivest,
Where we love and live and share a dream,
Of hope and happiness and never in darkness reign,
Where we sing to each and our agonies redeem,
Glorious then we are and no more shall be feign.
Praise my part, so i may thine part praise,
And draw an image that thy spirit mirror,
Art thou true? Through existence ever phase,
Like my heart who from love to love endeavour,
For eternity my mind and heart shall love thee,
Then i am immortal to have thy love in me,
18
Sweet love, i pray, for thy sweet part,
To have peace and comfort, for eternity,
Pray for me then, so as then my heart,
Find peace, and keep dwelling in serenity,
Let's pray for each, so we may together,
Venture to heaven with aids of lights,
To God let our destiny be, true endeavor,
That God may unblindfold our weak sights,
There, O love, we in peace forever dwell,
And rest our minds from the burden of life,
You'll sing for me, then i will sing thy will,
Then we recall this agony "O, burden brief"
In Heaven when we rest, that eternal mirth,
God shall bestow us, Life without death,
19
I shall not write thy name on window panes,
Nor on gold, nor water nor with fire forge,
For these sure dost thy holy name profanes,
And less bring of thy much greater personage,
Not with subjects that oft bend with time,
I shall address thee, O sweet my love,
But with love that brings such undying rhyme,
That bears change and with eternity move,
For eternal as thou, an angel from heaven,
Drive my muse, to such immortal tone,
Not that i skill have, but by thy light driven,
As a moon passive before the great sun,
What art thou, O love? heaven lies in thee,
That thy sweet looks brings sweet love in me,
20
Fear not, O love, love is strength,
Fear-less the lover go in his quest,
Bears courage to the end of breath,
And power of will and wisdom best,
Be wise my love, look with an eye,
Belongs to thine own heart and mind,
See that who loves, shall never die,
And bears his wealth to the other side,
A wealth that surpass the power of time,
Called Love, by those who wisdom know,
Though some may call love but a crime,
Wiser we know that love rise and never bow,
Powerful i am, feeds from my love of thee,
Be Powerful, O love, join this strength in me,
…enigmatic sonnet…
Coleridge, what tell'st thou that i lack?
O, it is thy life in me now hast revived,
Live on, Coleridge, see thy name's track,
Emerging from time's clasp, fairly survived,
Read this rhyme, O poet, then join my song,
It speaks of a spirit, thou fairly knew,
Drive my muse by power, to thee belong,
Gilded with sadness, spoken by Bard as you,
Elope the yoke of time, join my quest of love,
So we may to Her Fair deliver a message,
Then she might think twice, to reject or approve,
To give fair acceptance or keep my endless forage,
I call for thy help from the fetterings of time,
So that she may list to thine greater rhyme,
21
Sleep, O sleep, why dost thou linger on?
Upon my enchanted spirit, whats thy call,
To bring another world and love summon?
Or to death thou inviting my lost soul,
Hold on, sleep, love lies ahead, an elysium,
On earth, that may and might bring me up,
Should i vile be or keep in mine decorum,
To win love? O, she might tell me "shut up",
To what avail dost thy visitations tend?
O sleep, thou sweets aid to the sweet ,
To bid me rest, or my heart's ache mend?
So she may in thee, my lost spirit greet,
O sleep, visit me and her so we may in thee,
Find rest, and join each and sing to eternity,
22
I would like to sleep on thy shoulder, faint,
And die and live and die and live forever,
Then thou might, my defections paint,
On a Grecian Urn like an immortal flower,
Paint me, sweet love, a sweet image then,
Like that thou hast present within my mind,
Let it be a yellow bit entwined with green,
A resting soul, resting with Thee by fireside,
Then wake me up, to sleep again by love,
And love by me, so as to freeze in time,
A circle perfect, with love by love move,
That surfeit my heart with an eternal rhyme,
Paint an image, O love, where you and me,
Live in my muse and sweet art of thee,
23
Thorn of love, i love thee, for thee i bleed,
Kill me well, and do thy best to protect,
Thy rose, for it is a jewel, hidden in weed,
And i am a phoenix, for love i inspect,
Do thy thing, thorn, and i shall do mine,
A fight of love, that i dare thee to a duel,
To kill me, i blossom like a merry vine,
To cherish me, i love thee thou kind-cruel,
Loser thou, for thy reason cannot defy,
My winning sentiment that to heaven rise,
Kill me with art or muse, no more i die,
But live to trouble bring to thy false surmise,
I shall win, for my love's power feeds on thee,
Therefore I'm valiant, thy thorn can never kill me,
24
Shelley who taught thee such sweet verse?
That a-rends to love's purpose so clear,
Is it beauty's look or old, wise Greece,
To drive mad me to thy unmatched flair,
Is it of evil spirit, or pure souls thou spake?
Ah, sweet and wise all thy utterance been,
Lovers should list then for love's dear sake,
To thy muse which tutors the old and teen,
Join my muse, dear poet, let's sing a muse,
To her wit may shake every resting leaf,
To shake her heart, she may put it in use,
And leave her long-lasting dark grief,
List thou deaf of heart, this song is for thee,
Let it hit thy heart hard, to learn to love me,
25
The world is still, when thy eye signal me,
And beauty crowned all heaven’s fair,
Blind at heart, my eye no more can see,
When from thy sun i glimpsed such glare,
Shine upon my desert, thou beauty art,
And love invoke by such a fluttering lid,
String thy harp so that my fluttering heart,
(May rise then thou his thirst surfeit bid,)
Bid me rest at heart, then i may thee thank,
Then wonder, what needs i more from?
From love's river, i hast abundantly drank,
O, no more i need that none i can inform,
Fear not the world, O love, our love is due,
I may live then by the sweet looks of you,
26
Like a start that your wit cannot spell,
Is a hidden treasure, you cannot perceive,
From thy mind invoked, to bring thee frail,
A fact is misshapen, to thy heart deceive,
A dream of love i know, they fallacy say,
So true my dream they failed to apprehend,
He who lives in despair, knows not the way,
Of love which agony of life oft remedy tend,
Love is truth, and kind to the old and young,
It yields not to hardship nor with time bent,
It cures death, and brings joy that belong,
To heaven, a gift from above to man is lent,
If all the world is right, that love is not true,
Let me prove them wrong, that i love you,
27
This verse can no more concealment hold,
And like a flutterer to thee longs to fly,
Welcome him, whether tender be or bold,
Caress his wings, look him with meek eye,
Read my muse, O love, see my spirit here,
Bare unfolded before thy dearest heart,
Bid it rest, mark it with notes frail or fair,
Then behold in its mirror what thou art,
But if thou wish this bird flight to delay,
He flutterer still, charming the world's soul,
Uttering love's will, tongues cannot say,
His will nor grasp a hint from his whole,
Love is whole, infinite, like a bird tend to flee,
His cage, to rest and perch by sweet thee,
28
All heaven’s rains may fall upon thy heart,
And joy and bless all that rests in paradise,
May visit thy soul, bids thee another start,
Fresh as light and safe as love's warrantise,
A walk lets then have, under Heaven's rain,
Where you guide my steps by fair speech,
In heaven i live now, this is my own reign,
That sweetness cannot more high reach
Two droplets falling from heaven down,
To bottomless sea, where treasures hide,
Quivering they moved, together drown,
In love's bore, where reason is so blind,
In rain i wish forever to move with thee,
Let me be sick, then thou may cure me,
29
No more i shall be sad, that thou art here,
Beside my frame, within my bosom's vault,
Like a flutterer i shall, wander this sphere,
So the world may share in my love's revolt,
To teach the world's spirit i call for thy aid,
To hold my hand and then my heart back,
So love's spirit from the world never fade,
But to heaven shall keep its lovely track,
My rejoice may fly to bless the world's eye,
And in every spirit may lay a joyful song,
To tell a tale of love, with a purpose high,
Love from earth rose, to heaven belong,
I'm happy, let the world join this love in me,
To behold such delight, in Heaven and thee,
30
Be out, this fire i hast, is my life's torment,
And hold, till freedom may flee its cage,
For one's spirit cannot bear a punishment,
From time his own, rules not of his age,
I'll apt out love, not that that others know,
But that which longs for frames intertwine,
Thy love is with reason forged, cannot bow,
To life’s misery, nor with hindrance incline,
I'm wise in love and love wiser than me,
Therefore, (word removed) i shall not now seek,
I'll hold her still, she will mend my Frailty,
Till I'm out of this cage, and no more weak,
I am a nightingale, mute from freedom's song,
Thou art my mentor, bring me where i belong,
31
I hate the world's rules, pejorative they are,
Wealth is virtue, hatred power, love is a lie,
Faith is falsehood, and weakness is care,
To live is to win and lost that who ever die,
Nay, i shall not be bent with such decree,
That less make of love's sweet sentiment,
Nor that my mind shall dwell with fallacy,
That tend to cure wrongs with evil intent,
Let love then be my guide for i love sure,
Every one's spirit that this rondure roams,
Every deed good and every thought pure,
I love, and every bird and rose's blossoms,
To love is a rule, that surpass everything,
And that who loves can hate then nothing,
32
Like a one who spares a gaze on the sun,
Or dares with frail on hard rocks to chew,
I'm seeking love, fancied some more fun,
But down i brought by life's changing hue,
One hour's heaven another heaven's hell,
Like a child's toy, I'm sent back and forth,
Life's a player, by her feet i am but a ball,
Rolling by destiny, knowing not its worth,
But i being smooth, i can fit with times,
And bear change and roll with sentiment,
But love i can't halt, nor can my rhymes,
With life or with changing sentiment bent,
Ah love, what makes thee such power give,
To those who hold thee, death they outlive,
33
Apocalypse
34
Another dream i have, more sweet she give,
Therefore i would love to live in a sleep,
Where peace she gave, so sweet as love,
As High as heaven and as waters deep,
In an eternal moment, i seized an embrace,
Of myself, as with her to heaven we rode,
On her shoulder i slept, an eternal grace,
Ah, wished i, that sleep to last for good,
Anon, phantoms came to bring us depart,
To mar a moment less or more was real,
With envy and power broke they my heart,
To deny, and her face from me they steal,
If love refuse my love, i shall seek redeem,
In sleep, Where sweet love visit my dream,
35
Upon the thought of love i pondered,
And some revelations dost surface make,
Is it beauty or wit, that love's life ordered,
To rise, or none that my thought can wake,
Therefore a journey i set, to an answer find,
To questions that keep in my mind urge,
I ventured past, and future's untrodden land
But none can give my gap of thought bridge,
Then i turned to myself, a cyclic thought,
And asked what made me to be who i am?
An answer i heard, love dost thee brought,
Life, hope, wonder, journey, troubled Adam,
Ah love, now i know, thou unknown thing,
I shall journey then, and forever wandering,
36
When my love's eye oft speak with mine,
I live in a dream more than honey sweet,
My muse is mute, it can no more define,
My love, when her jewels mine eye greet,
Greet me more, dear love, like a merry sun,
On winter's morn, shines onto the world,
Be kind as she is, bring me an eternal noon,
Revive my spirit, remove my heart's cold,
Let my heart be a trash for thy disgrace,
And my eye a prisoner, for thy sweet eye,
I might then, live to behold thy holy face,
That thy sight then may cure my love's cry,
The brightest stars in cosmos, that i see,
Thy eyes, for they bring sweet love in me,
37
Thy face, thy smile, my heart's only cure,
And wish to freeze before thy countenance,
To see the truth in thee, so heavenly pure,
And live in a dream so sweet as thy face,
Within thy eyes when i look, i see an image,
Wild as hell, yet as peaceful as heaven,
Love it invokes, it brings in me courage,
And wisdom and power unknown to men,
The brook of knowledge is thy sweet eye,
Therefore transfigured i, to seize a gaze,
Upon thy jewels, rebirth to that who die,
And power of life within thy holy blaze,
To die is to live, sweet O love, kill me,
So i may live, to die again by sweet thee,
38
Like an old tree, all my leaves are out,
Caught in wind and unstoppable hail,
A hollow stem, eaten out by parasite,
And rainless clime brought me frail,
But my root is firm, deep down in earth,
Entwined with power and hope unseen,
Though that these foretell present death,
I know i hast strength and spirit green,
My faith is my hope and love my redeem,
Power they bring against my life's wind,
Like an oak tree, in my frail i stand firm,
And agony and ill cannot my stem bend,
I shall flourish again, this strength in me,
Is heaven’s gift and is but ultimate mercy,
39
This fresh breeze of life, that my spirit did enjoy,
Now i long for, though heaven seems close,
She left me alone, my heart she coldly destroy,
Victorious she went, enjoying upon my loss,
I long for a word from her honey-spilling tongue,
To bring me back a love i used to taste,
When she spake with me and sung a song,
That laid my heart vibrant and my muse waste,
A memory she is, present before my eye,
And deaf she ordered my heart and mind,
I wish no more to live, let death cross by,
My road, to release my agony from my side,
I wish to die, by the sweet looks of thee,
There i may rest, thy eyes may cure me,
40
My love is approaching, near or more,
But far as galaxies we stay sadly apart,
She is keen, malleable, little less sore,
Fresh as ever, alluring my weak heart,
Therefore I'm lost, betwixt her fair jewels,
And her mind and heart are my dream,
To say i love her, she call my love cruels,
Cruel to her my love, to me most kind seem
I love her more, more than she can perceive
And wish that peace ever dwell in her mind,
Whether she accepts or my love bereave,
I love her still, O, cupid is painted blind,
I love her still and will forever loving be,
Till her love, death or cure brings to me,
41
When before my love i dare, i love you say,
And she repays my love with indifference,
Jealous i am, i say, therefore for me pray,
To bear thy depart with sweet patience,
Thus she replied, a prayer for myself i need,
I prayed at heart, anon, she in peace dwell,
I enjoyed her killing, sets me truly dead,
And alive, when her image conquering still,
Conquering my mind, i before her spake,
And she harken, with such a beautiful wit,
Her generous mind, heed for me did take,
As i, trembling weak, before her hail sit,
I love you, i said, yet if thou dont love me,
I shall ask no more, love comes free,
42
Bitter poison is thy neglect, i now bear,
To see heaven yet silence in my tongue,
I wish to shed, before thee a million tear,
Yet again thy heart will neglect my song,
What a thing allures thy heart's desire?
Or is it great that thy greater mind seek?
Like iron then, forge me by thy sweet fire,
To make strength and cast out the weak,
Sorceress, transform me by lovely spell,
But speak to me not with such neglect,
Bring me power and cast out my frail,
But never my heart fail or my love reject,
I love thee sure, yet in thee i surely see,
My life, my death, my pleasure and misery,
43
Another word i can spend to praise the rain,
When my love in such weather made a note
To offer company, in such a shying refrain,
I follow, like a ship following guiding boat,
Thy trace i follow, run with me in a slow,
So my frail may with thy strength catch,
For no home for me, but thy face i know,
Which with sinews of my heart dost latch,
O, the rain, this abundant watery thing,
Gives revolt to my stagnant and idle muse,
It birth bids and much amusement bring,
A memory present, i shall put it in use,
A memory when my love, spend a walk with me,
In rain, pleasures can never than that sweeter be,
44
If kind Heaven, answer my desperate pray,
I shall turn my disgrace into obedient slave,
For such priceless gift, the least i can pay,
To hold my beast, heaven may me forgive,
I shall seize my eye from appealing sight,
And curb my heart with love's true cause,
Wrongs shall no more vex my soul's light,
And evil no more shall my heart abuse,
I pray in rain, Heaven my send me a cure,
To end life's misery by love's sweet return,
If wishes can be granted, then i allure,
A love that may light bring to night's morn,
A morning eternal, i wish to spend with thee,
Then thy light, may cure ill and dying me,
45
I shall love beauty, intellect and sentiment,
That thy name holds such notions high,
To love, i learned, is to endure predicament,
That nature's course forbids love's cry,
Thou mentor, taught me such lesson hard,
By neglect and by sentiments most harsh,
All the world's rhymes, cannot bear stand,
Against thy heart's cold or thy mind's lash,
Cold, selfish, harsh, sick, cruel art thou,
And mild, sweet, keen, poor, pure i am,
What universe brought me then to know?
Such spirit as thine, that i call my dame,
Ambivalence in the cosmos, i love thee,
Thou art intellect, sentiment and beauty,
46
A confession i wrote, to tell thee my part,
So my tongue may not crash before thy eye,
Yet again it crashed, before thy dearest heart,
Thou killer, indifferent if i ever live or die,
Let me be dead then, a ghost will haunt,
Thy troubled dreams, to vex thee more,
An eye for an eye, as thou weret blunt,
I shall trouble more, thy dreams, bitter sore,
O no, my gentle heart cant but wish,
Mirth and joy may visit thy greater mind,
Let me be dead, as a candle i extinguish,
To bring peace and comfort to thy sweet side,
To love is self-less, therefore i love thee,
Be happy, then let death fall upon me,
47
With italics i shall send, a coded message then,
To scold a massacre done to my dear words,
To reach a "dear ear" i suspect, it was my heaven,
For poesy things are harsh, scattered worlds,
If this message reach, may the hearer recall,
A promise made at heaven’s brightest night,
To venture free, and never with darkness fall,
To cure my heart, end my plight, capture my sight,
Why in Heaven's name, she brought Owen of war?
To words most sincere, "destined for a making",
Is it that "the world is too much with us" or,
Sentiments fail and love is no more a thing?
Destined, Presumptuous me, uttered too early,
Ambivalence in the cosmos, unknown destiny,
48
The rain, Heaven's gift, a memory still afresh,
Of love and sentiment beyond men's dream,
A walk i had with heaven, now i can't but wish,
To walk again, but alas, far now it seem,
When it rains, dost thou think of a man?
Mad, broken, lost, idle, and thirst of soul,
Suffering somewhere, from thy cruel ban,
Dreaming, wishing, longing, dying for a call,
Call him not straight, but read thou his Muse,
Forged by rain, and fire that burned his heart,
Ambivalent thou, his heart revive and abuse,
Call him weak then gild thou his frail part,
Thunder i hear, methinks heaven call for me,
Knell of death i confused by sweet call of thee,
49
Flashes of lightning, her eyes used to graze,
My weak eye, a generous and sweet cure,
Heaven's rain, her thoughts used to amaze,
My little mind, turning my stain, right pure,
Shall i then believe an idle thought they say,
Rain is gothic! Fie, they knew not what rain,
Rain is peace, rain is love, happy, joyful, gay,
Healer of heart, cure of soul, ease of pain,
O rain, nature's gift, heaven’s joy, visit me,
Be kind, lift this darkness from my side,
Bring me warmth, in a flash of a memory,
Where i in heaven with heaven fair stride,
Rain, O rain, what makes thee fuel such rhyme,
Multitudinous, powerful, sweet, bent not with time,
50
Those tears i spent are my heart's torment,
Many they fall, like heaven’s sweet rain,
Sore of purpose, for love's loss they meant,
Pardon give, yet cannot relieve my pain,
O, how much agony can my eye spend?
Is it not enough i suffered a million death?
Endless their fall seems, hast no end,
Ceased only by the end of my breath,
Rain and tears, water torturing my soul,
And leaves green and greater yellow,
Turned my heart ill and my spirit dull,
Lost in chaos, fallen, dead to marrow,
But anon at morn, when my love i see,
All agonies out, her looks my sole remedy,
51
How dare I in thought to challenge make?
Thy rhyme which to my skin shudder bring,
Thou Grandeur, for thy muse I forsake,
An idle thought I had, in love’s endeavoring,
More I dare to ask thy help for a rhyme,
Thou might spend so as to my love address,
Like a one thou spake, unbent with time,
Can thou kindly now to her hail express?
O Bard, she might list to thy undying Muse,
Forged by talent, absent from the world,
Then she might not dare my love refuse,
In fear to mar thy most beautiful word,
O Bard, tell her how much I dost forbear,
To tell her, I love thee, like Shakespeare,
