SWEETENED GENTIAN, by SINCLAIR CRAVEN First Line: So soon she died - and with her, half of me Last Line: Forgetful of time, which blotted, ceased to be. | |||
So soon she died -- and with her, half of me... Though trudging time brings healing, scars remain. Within your pulsing breast, runs deep, a strain Of long remembered love, in minor key. To weave re-patterned dreams -- this was my plea; Delete the other years; forget our pain, And wander down a re-enchanted lane Of life together, blithely; memory free. Now is my prayer fulfilled; so close you lie, Eager to share your loneliness with mine -- Life's tapers light again at love's sweet shrine, Using indulgence which rapt kisses buy, In tense embrace of mating ecstacy, Forgetful of time, which blotted, ceased to be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTELLECT by RALPH WALDO EMERSON SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 9.
