My dearest star, my brightest sun
Your loudest cries, my sweetest songs
Your merry laughter, my constant prayer

Skizonoid

Threnody For A Poet

© Bliss William Carman

Not in the ancient abbey,
Nor in the city ground,
Not in the lonely mountains,
Nor in the blue profound,
Lay him to rest when his time is come
And the smiling mortal lips are dumb;

Dwelling in days and nights with dignity?

I treasure thy fancy as whate'er means beauty.

When my sun rises I don’t mind perishing
As long as I can embrace you till the end
And my heart can shout loud: I have loved.

De Libris

© William Cosmo Monkhouse

True — there are books and books. There’s Gray,
For instance, and there’s Bacon;
There’s Longfellow, and Monstrelet,
And also Colton’s “ Lacon,”
With “Laws of Whist” and those • of Libel,
And Euclid, and the Mormon Bible.

Of Love & Sex

© Sukasah Syahdan

said once a friend of mine
that love was just a bucket of bullshit; then I--
thought about his parents

that sex was a thing overrated; so I--
asked for her other poems

She who did not come, wasn't she determined
nonetheless to organize and decorate my heart?
If we had to exist to become the one we love,
what would the heart have to create?

To strew the bank where Phaon wakes from rest;
