Annie Cordelia Adams Poems

A little picture, browned,
Had a tear on its edge
Where moth and rust
Plagued it away
...

The Sun screams for me to catch it
But I can not adhere
The clouds: they ask me to ride
I reach and they've disappeared
...

I swept my hair to the side
and looked at you in your eyes
the grey foam sea just behind
the black and depth words you sigh
...

That if I would,
I would stand immortally at sea
Gazing for eternity at sea
...

I miss the sea and its cavalry of waves
I miss the salty air and salty breath
My heart leaps to jump into its arms
I miss the subtle breeze felt from afar
...

along the river fuji
bright, where a mountain
stands before me tall
...

you'd never know
how my heart trembled
when in the night
you spoke to me
...

i am drawn
by an unknown force
to your shore line
to your sea
...

Nameless Love
veracious truth
unyielding strength
you are a great deal too good for me
...

I do not see how I am capable of love
Whereas thousands were meant for solitude
How I ever thought I could fit my hand in that glove
I will never comprehend; ever know the mood
...
