My thoughts like my love is forever lost

My thoughts like my love is forever lost
Not in me but she, the price love cost
Our energy, or beauty, all that we create
Turns on us and weaves our fate
Reverent thyself and in reverence keep
The love for thee and think of me
For my love my thoughts and love are in you
And appears it cannot break through
So use them to be and do break free
From the cold frost from thy indifferent air
And thy cold stare, frozen bare
Which freezes my thought and my love
And in you, I bid adieu

A Selfish Lover

My love doth not love but love it feels
Inside my heart which is deaf and mute.
I cannot love thee but my soul peals
The song of love into sweet fruit.
Love is the virtue, I selfishly hoard
A vice to entrap mine only good.
In the miser in me, my fruit I store
And eat for myself as love should.
But my heart doth not hear
And my heart doth not speak
The rich love my soul endear
Or the love thine heart seek?
For I do love one, but only me
If thou call that love or being miserly?

O sweet song of sorrow play thy song in me

O sweet song of sorrow play thy song in me
Lonely, alone with thee, in perfect harmony
Sorrow don't ever leave me; I need thy loyalty
Without thy sweet song, I am nothing, with no sympathy
Without thy empathy, breathing in me, sorrow thou art beauty
The beauty in me, so weep thy soul in me
And in thy sweet cry, my soul shall flow free
To thine heart, to thine love, to thine eternal glory
Sorrow, sweet sorrow, thou play thy song in me
Me as sorrowful, as thy soul's sorrow be…

To Girls Whom Cut Thy Wrists

Penetrating deep, thy poem cuts my heart
Bidding adieu, my love is cut apart
Teeming down thy lines, my love is found anew
For every cut thou make, is a line inherently true.

With each swift cut, a pain of heart thou make
In each move, my loving heart thou take
Sweet girls who slice thine own wrist
All that blood my heart shall dearly miss

To each permanent scar, with this poem's potency
My love's lips sweetly kiss
To cleanse thou painful mar and
bring back thine soul amiss!

True Love Inspires Hope

True love inspires hope
hope that love is forever and true
one hopes that with love one can elope
their heart with thee, thine heart that's you.
The absence of my life, where art my love?
in day chimera, in my hope meek?
throughout my sorrow deep, in my transports above
with hope I seep, for love I seek
I hope... Wanting love that is not true, forever and lasting
I hope for love through and through
by my hope, for love's hope, truly casting
my eye on love, my eye on you...
Hoping

Autumn Lips

The autumn leaves blend with thee, as thy gently fall from beauties tree
Unto my lips and so sweetly, thou kiss my lips and give life to me
Thy modest lips never touched but by thine own lips pristine
Tenderly kiss my grave lips and raise me from death's terrible scene
Thou cover me in color and with thy death give hope
To my poor soul, who in thy rain of color blindly grope
For thy soul behind autumn color which does so gratuitously give
Me the vivacity to search for thee and live.

Et Filii

With a crown of thorns piercing thine brow
Blood sweetly falling down thy face
Thou painted love on thy countenance how?
Gently and humble with God's grace
Man knew nothing but man's sin
Till to earth thee came, poor and meek
To speak wisdom, truth and our hearts win
The kingdom of God in thy soul so seek
We still in our hearts thou make
And pray to God that we may know
The love thou make for our love's sake
To become the love thou did show
on the cross dead
for the words thou said

In her face I discern

In her face I discern
my sorrow and love
In her eyes I burn
My soul away
For I lost myself
In her countenance deep
In her heart I stay
For her heart keep
My ashes and dust
To gray her heart
And love she must
For one we art.
I have lost myself
And love attained
But love did bane
My soul away
Better to be her ash and dust
Than be me
A nothing without her beauty
So in her heart I did entrust

Contemplating an Unknown Love

A flush of emotion runs into my vein
A sweet murmur, a vociferous rush
Cries to my heart, cries to my pain
Amelioration! Coloring my blush
A sweet pink, for pink to lavish
O sweet sentiment, from my soul soil
Thou grow freely and my features ravish
And tenderize me in thy modest boil
Melting me into me for I may be
The elixir thou brew, the life I drink
As I contemplate thy light in me
And brood upon what my soul doth think
The mystery which befuddle me most
Unknown love and its profound dose

As the strings of love so deftly fall

As the strings of love so deftly fall
Cut from love's most secret hate
My love eludes, mine heart and all
I cannot breathe, it's too late
To retie the knot that to you doth bind
Mine heart; mine soul, mine love
That rests in mine lofty mind
Thou depart below but thou art above?
Myself I hope thou depart to me
Dying here alone with my delusion
A phantom thou became, a phantom I see
Of my lost love's fantastic illusion
Sweet dreams, to dream of thee forever
As the bond we hath doth slowly sever
