Witnesses

© Madison Julius Cawein

  You say I do not love you!--Tell me why,
  When I have gazed a little on your face,
  And then gone forth into the world of men,
  A beauty, neither of the Earth or Sky,
  A glamour, that transforms each common place,
  Attends my spirit then?

Muffled safely under snow,
And the winding meadow streams
Murmur in their wintry dreams,

In spite of locks untimely shed,
Or silvered on the youthful brow;
That babes make love and children wed.

All hands on deck, below there!
The storm is coming soon,
The clouds tramp on in panic
Across the swirling moon.

Written At Sea

© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

What is my quarrel with thee, beautiful sea,
That thus I cannot love thy waves or thee,
Or hear thy voice but it tormenteth me?

Wreath For A Bridal

© Sylvia Plath

What though green leaves only witness
Such pact as is made once only; what matter
That owl voice sole ‘yes’, while cows utter
Low moos of approve; let sun surpliced in brightness
Stand stock still to laud these mated ones
Whose stark act all coming double luck joins.

When Some Day

© Hovhannes Toumanian

Sweet comrade, when you come some day
To gaze upon my tomb,
And scattered all around it see
Bright flowers in freshest bloom,

  Strong in affection's might? a reed, upborne
  By an o'er mastering current!

Worth While

He doesn't care that I'm not rich,

Or that I'm poorly dressed,

Winter Solstice

© Anonymous

When you startle awake in the dark morning
heart pounding breathing fast
sitting bolt upright staring into
dark whirlpool black hole
feeling its suction

When I Was Still A Youthful Wight

That my features were small-yes, very;
Yet then full many a beauteous child
With true affection upon me smil'd.

Why moan, why wail you, wind of night,

With such despair, such frenzied madness?
