oh i never wanna hit the ground

Long vast shapes... cooled and flushed through with darkness... Lidless windows Glazed with a flashy luster From some little pert café chirping up like a sparrow. And down among iron guts Piled silver Throwing gray spatter of light... pale without heat... Like the pallor of dead bodies.

Every day, Every day, Tell the hours By their shadows, By their shadows.

Yourself the sun, and I the melting frost, Myself the flax and you the kindly fire, Yourself the maze wherein my self is lost, I your disdain, yet you my heart’s desire, Your love the port whereto my fancies sail, My hope the ship whose helm your fair hand guides, Your grace the wind that must my course avail My faith the flood, your frowns the ebbing tides, Yourself the spring and I the toiling bee. My thoughts in you, though yours elsewhere, do rest. You are the brook and I the deer embossed My heaven is you, yet you torment my ghost.

Orange gleams athwart a crimson soul Lambent flames; purple passion lurks In your dusk eyes. Red mouth; flower soft, Your soul leaps up—and flashes Star-like, white, flame-hot. Curving arms, encircling a world of love, You! Stirring the depths of passionate desire!
