Silence and Tears
A knell in my ear
Sever for years
Love’s philosophy

Poem about man trying to get woman
The fountains mingle with the river, the rivers with the oceans

And god has not said a word
And last you sat by my side and called to me
Sonnet 29 I think of thee

Breathe within thy shadow a new air
Rather, instantly renew thy presence
My thoughts do twine and bud

The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Your eyes were eyes that rove over tedious riddles years ago
Keen lessons that love deceives

Icy miles
Feeding words onto a blank screen

Turned the key upon her fast
Little frightened fay
I chose a maid

Natures give and take
Like a satellite wrenched from its orbit, go drifting away

It is my father who keeps stumbling and will not go away
Mother any distance
You at the 0 end
Anchor. Kite.
Open a hatch to an endless sky, to fall or fly
Before you were mine

I see you

Like a pair of wings

Climbing has its dangers
Knowing the slow pulse of his good heart
