The contour of the beloved's face
in the fluidity of your thoughts:
...
The annual withering of body;
Primeval herbage of my soul alive;
Transformed all by Time that's never tardy
To arrive, —interfering in my life.
...
Rivers and rivers
of purple pain
spring
from hearts bruised
...
I am sitting by the sea,
writing poetry.
Every breaking wave…
...
there's too much beauty
to be contemplated with
such a broken heart—
but when you loved, you have seen
...
my love at twilight—
an incandescent orange
extinguished in blue
night winds shake my memories
...
‘Nature has given to man a disposition to pity,
and the power of comprehending truth.'
—Voltaire, ‘A Philosophical Dictionary, Volume III.'
