First Line: My mouth is wet with your life
Last Line: Vivid through the white.
Alternate Author Name(s): H. D.; Aldington, Richard, Mrs.
Subject(s): Bible; Love
My mouth is wet with your life,
my eyes blinded with your face,
a heart itself which feels
the intimate music.
My mind is caught,
dimmed with it,
(where is love taking us?)
my lips are wet with your life.
In my body were pearls cast,
shot with Ionian tints, purple,
vivid through the white.
