The poem I am searching for was I think written by a female architect. I heard it some time ago on a programme on Radio 3?
'eat the stars' is the only thing I remember. It must have made a big impression for me to remember this so I would like to track down the rest.

Could it have been this? Not by an architect but by an astronomer. ANTIDOTES TO FEAR OF DEATH Sometimes as an antidote To fear of death I eat the stars - Rebecca Elsen, astronomer (1960-1999)

As a young girl my grandmother recited a poem she called 'The Death of the Drunkard's Son'. I have searched extensively and have had no luck in locating this piece. She was born in 1895 so I think the poem is quite old. It may not even be the correct title, either. Has anyone heard of this one?

Love
has no
more color
than the wind
or the sun, the moon,
the stars or the rains that
surround all
spaces
that breathe to play
and sleep to work on
and smile
to meet between
our two hearts
and love's very own
most precious moments
that our four eyes
forever speak of
in our very own
living colors ~

Well.. I have searched high and low on the internet and cannot find this and I know it was read at Linda McCartney's funeral by David Bailey.. It was printed in the newspaper (England... I dont know which one.. I cut it out but sice lost it) but I do remember that the title was 'Lyric' by Spike Milligan.. I do also know the words by heart
Why then am I looking? you may ask.. Well.. I 'd just love to know a) why it isn't on the net anywhere, and b) what is the story behind it if anyone can help I would be really happy, I have been looking years! I even wrote to Paul McCartney's agents, years ago, but got no reply... The poem?
her it is..
Lyric.. by Spike Milligan
It was Summer
On the lake hung a golden haze
It was Summer
It was one of those endless days
So we talked
through a field of clover
and then over a sheepspun hill
It seemed it would last forever
And it did until
Came the evening
We swung on a garden gate
I was seven and you were eight
And we watched the stars suspended
Walking home down an apple lane
Me and Rosie
A doll, a daisy chain
On an evening that would never come again.
Lovely isn't it? very evocative. PLEASE can you tell me anything about it?
many thanks! and kind regards to everyone.. I have just come across this site

I read this poem ages and ages ago, it became one of my favourites but I can't for the life of me remember the author, title or how it started (usefull, I know) . Part of what I do remember went something like 'you'll find me attractive, but I'm bad, a poisoned chalice. Hatters did and they went mad, ask Alice. Alchemists throughout the years have been besotted by me, and understandably, I promise gold, immortality, eternal youth'. It goes on. I would appreciate it so much if someone knew where to find the whole thing, I've been looking for ages!

I think it may be this poem by Siegfried Sassoon, who, despite the Germanic name, was a British poet: To My Brother Give me your hand, my brother, search my face; Look in these eyes lest ... more
