Tumultuous harmony and fierce!

Rimmed with white
Reflecting an indefinable emotion

Embedded in her flowers –

With a jewel for sky and sea,
Rose-crowns for the dancing hours,
Gold fruits upon every tree;

That the rain will not stop
Until i have found you
Waiting to be kissed

Every white grass flower is kissing sun,
Autumn sun is bright in day sky of love,
A fable of love is written in fest of joy,

I.--TO MISTRESS BARBARA

There were three cavaliers, all handsome and true,
On Valentine's day came a maiden to woo,
...

as she wrote 'i love you' on his Valentine
it cut her with its edges and she took it as a sign

six years later, he's long gone and she disregards
...

I

The God of Love-'ah, benedicite!'
How mighty and how great a Lord is he!
...

Love is
When you wake up with a heart full of hope and love,
When you make up with a smile after an argument,
When you cross the boundaries of differences,
...

Love me now while
I can love you in return
Love me now when, at will
I can turn on and off the lantern
...

Who's she, that one in your arms?

She's the one I carried my bones to
and built a house that was just a cot

Early in the morning when the birds sings,
Light to this world the sun brings,
When the dew drops like pearls shine,
I remember you in this heart of mine.
...

Oh! I wish I were a tiny browny bird from out the south,
Settled among the alder-holts, and twittering by the stream;

We search the whole world over
trying to find a pure heart there.
Someone who will reach out
with some tender care.

When she said 'Oh, be mine,
Be my sweet Valentine!'

I am the pilgrim boy
Lame, but hunting the shrine;

Yesterday...
Valentine's, you missed it, too bad, he left no forwarding address-
I watched from the pub window
as a van from a high-class Consultant on
...

What did I think, a storm clutching a clarinet
and boarding a downtown bus, headed for lessons?
I had pieces to learn by heart, but at twelve
...

At midnight, death's and truth's unlocking time,
When far within the spirit's hearing rolls
The great soft rumble of the course of things --
A bulk of silence in a mask of sound, --
...

You pull over to the shoulder
of the two-lane
road and sit for a moment wondering
where you were going
...

Cover me with your beauty sublime;
Stain upon my heart the dying echo of love.
Plant in my bosom the eternal seed of hope
And I'll reap a harvest of fulfilment.

Be my Valentine, my beloved
Not only today but everyday

Be my valentine, my one true love

As it glows through the night
Gazing at the stars, I see them forming a halo around yr face
Making my heart rise further into the Milky Way

hidden in the attic,
there rests among
my cherished things,

His cap studded with wisdom jewel;
He is seen in dual mood,
It swings between the kind & cruel.

My Valentine
think about it
this is my most precious poem,

Too high, too high to pluck
My heart shall swing.
A fruit no bee shall suck,
No wasp shall sting.

Your Eyes

I met your eyes, beautiful eyes
I fell in love with your eyes, true eyes

For performing weddings for soldiers
Who were forbidden to marry not to send

TO-DAY, all day, I rode upon the down,
With hounds and horsemen, a brave company
On this side in its glory lay the sea,
On that the Sussex weald, a sea of brown.
...

Here I am where I never wanted to be,
On the edge of the mountain,
In the depths of the sea,
Baring all that I ever had,

Oh! Montmorency Vere de Vere,
To think that one I held so dear
Should use a base deceiver’s art
To trifle with my loving heart.

Here are your Roses, chocolate and wine,
I won’t be able to take you out to dine.
Please, please don’t start to whine
By the way, who was this St Valentine?

Let others wonder what fair face
Upon their path shall shine,
And, fancying half, half hoping, trace
Some maiden shape of tenderest grace

To Mrs. E.C. Morrieson


’Twas not chance but deep design,

Cupid's invisible arrow poised
to pour out the potions of love
into the unwary souls of the destined
And change their lives forever..

Go Valentine and tell that lovely maid
Whom Fancy still will pourtray to my sight,
How her Bard lingers in this sullen shade,
This dreary gloom of dull monastic night.

Think Valentine, as speeding on thy way
Homeward thou hastest light of heart along,
If heavily creep on one little day
The medley crew of travellers among,

A boon to lovers all;
And people who are near and dear,
To make a lovely call.

A single pigeon
Sent off on Valentine's Day
Is yet to come back!

And I have two birthdays to content with
One after another in the beginning
Then, during the coldest time of the winter

Your death
lay hidden

waiting for me
...

My life was dumb and dull
Used to see in black and white
Then she appeared, my angel
Now rainbows all over my sight
...

Let the birds of your soul fly in the continuous waves
With the wave after wave, let ultimate adulation come
Let the ark of tears be placed in the saintly white cloud
We're drawing our embraced in the blue blood of flowers
...

Forgive me if I ever hurt you,
if you still see some colors in me.
Feel me my friend on a lovely day,
if you still feel some odors in me.

in the thrilled embroidered wings of airborne butterflies
in the sweet songs of spring birds, in the voices of cuckoo

YESTERDAY was St. Valentine.
Thought you at all, dear dove divine,
Upon the beard in sorry trim
And rueful countenance of him,

or age could Old Time's hands turn back
T'would then be youth with time to spend
