TILL LOVE BE WHOLE

By -


By Sidney Henry Morse (1833–1903)
 
THE SOUL I dwell within
Forgets my load of sin,
    And circles me
    With amorous glee,
To win my first faint smile        5
Of love that bodes no guile;—
Unfolds my heart the while,
    And sets me free.
 
Delights she to surprise
Me with some thought that hies        10
    To heaven straightway:
    Then all the day
I wander o’er the earth,
And find not half its worth;
Yet lose I not my mirth,        15
    And pray, and pray.
 
Oh! I am precious seed
Thus planted for her meed:
    My offish ways
    And long delays        20
She takes no notice of,
But steadily doth move
Upon my heart with love,
    Nor doubt displays.
 
Now I shall make return,        25
And my love’s taper burn
    For my good soul,
    As towards the goal
My steps I hourly bend;
And to the flame yet lend        30
Increase, far to the end,
    Till love be whole?

A CLOWN FOR A CIRCUS

Open sesame an inevitable acceptance of beauty lyrics in their dance of enigmatic harmony this is the best of a clown's story see it on the mirror smeared with honey the magic of dreams intertwined with reality in the secret symbol of sweetness all for the weird times for the circus and the clown It has been two thousand and sixteen between sunrise and the west only  in twenty three for the chest it is eleven for the twins twelve for the journey to paradise nine for the compassionate souls three for the most beautiful like angels and seven for the royal sapphire rings for whom that cry behind the curtains Oh beautiful angels it is all about the zero see that clock in the seventh dimension it is a sundial in the third for a century I have some faerie dust of eternity let the magic sizzle for Father Time to have some rest and give him six strokes that every soul earnestly needs it Do not listen to a mad clown in the midst of an insane circus why don...

SCALES OF DILEMMA

By -
When the heart smolders on the lips as the words light flames of silence and you walk away slowly like a dying breeze while your coldness livens coldness to freeze it is the instance I realize it was true love when peace has flown away like a dove as eyes become a fountain of an emotional river while the souls swirls with hope shining like silver and I am touched to believe you believed I lose the title as the story begins again I am consumed by the dreams of blissful moments who will tell my side of story? if it is too worthless to be a side of a coin so I take comfort with me as I reward you with sweet dreams on the floor of this love I take a walk out of its castle I am banished to take my sadness to the sea where I shall my heart's blindness to see As curtains fall with time in fire wax of happiness which was my rhyme my love is yours even if it was a crime I wish you like bells when they chime let it be Christmas to make you me...
