In Syncopes
I shall always return…in syncopes;I shall always return–in lesser or grander deeds, or be it me,Though times lost,and rhymes rust,and garish living turned to dust,I shall always return,through “Shoulds” and “Musts”,That bid farewell to old mein one last syncope;I shall always return,To one I can’t but truly trust.For recurring, returning to the sea;To that one

Letter 13: I’ve had you lost…
I’ve had you lost, and then I waste away:Unending spry & rosy days unmet;Praying for a second, I’d have you stay… If I would have you near, I’d kiss your fears away,But as I long & in my song I deeply forget;that I’ve had you lost, & now I waste away… I led my Life

Letter 12: Circle
Circle is the God—the Eye:The way I’ve known youunknowing why…Circle, being centered, there,Every time and every whereon the earth & in the sky;Circle, where reside, the “I”,Having been unbound at all,Lingering only in your Soul.In your heart you hold each sphere,Knew I, Genesis bloomed in here,& that God is drawing nigh—Circle in each cheer or

Tell me where all songs are sung,all winters—gone, and prizes—won,Where springs are sprung;Is it a place where she’s not there?!Just tell me where,& I’ll seek her… Tell me where all Loves are sprout,Where exiled doubtwon’t find a routeto creep again within or without;Is it a place where she’s not there?!Just tell me where,& I’ll stay

Letter 9: What Shall I Do When I Miss You
What shall I do when I miss you,but miss you more?!To kiss those winds that do kiss you,Kiss every sore, What shall I do except to wait,As you fall asleep,To kiss it as it kisses you late,Until it kisses you deep, What shall I do as your charms unfold,in silent delight?But to tell a story

Letter 7: If I Summarized
If I summarized all success in Life;I would only call your name:All the fortune and the fame,All—a drop to how you strive… If I summarized all the world’s grace;I would only draw your smile:Heeding decades in a while,A picture of my safest place… If I summarized all what’s divine;I would age telling of your soul:How

Letter 8: My Love… She Fears…
My Love, being herself, she fears,Does she not know how much she’s dear?How much I’ve sought her all these years!How well I sleep—knowing she’s near, My Little Love, herself, she keeps,Until her panic lurks and creeps,& though I know, for I am so,I cannot soothe her as she sleeps,O’how I’d hug her pains away,every night

Letter 6: A Song of Absence
If I have known that then, you may return,I would do everything— every deed I know,Instead of staying here alone to burn… I’d write a thousand line ’bout how I yearn,or wipe away all words I wrote ago,If I have known that then, you may return… If all your absence reasons, I could discern,I would
