How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Ri...
Always Marry An April Girl
Praise the spells and bless the charms, I found April in my arms. April golden, April cloudy, Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy; April soft in flowered languor, April cold with sudden anger, Ever changing, ever true -- I love April, I love you.
Insomniac
There are some nights when sleep plays coy, aloof and disdainful. And all the wiles that I employ to win its service to my side are useless as wounded pride, and much more painful.
"Faith" Is A Fine Invention
"Faith" is a fine invention When Gentlemen can see— But Microscopes are prudent In an Emergency.
Passing Time
Your skin like dawn Mine like musk One paints the beginning of a certain end. The other, the end of a sure beginning.
Dreams
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
His Sorrow
We presume to know of a far better way But our devices will falter somewhere, someday Surely there will come a time, a time to pay We don't care, our chosen course we shall stay In light of His sorrowful passion, asking for wisdom is the best way Contemplate well, be wise with our choices Discer...
Passion- Ian Munywe
In Alexander the great, welled ample passion. To conquer, the world. Napoleon Bonaparte too, son of Corsica. A great soldier, with a vision. Passion to mention rightfully is key, to all of life`s greatness gates. Gates of prosperity, Built from humble beginnings. The stimulus, passion. Passion indee...

Spell Of Nature Kindles Passion
From the childhood on I have been seeing the misty hill stations; Still I have not lost its muse quite amazing to recollect in leisure times; Green meadows and lakes the passion I have on them I have not lost even today; Nature of such places is great wonder and passion for me quite unshakable! Gree...

Reason And Passion Xv
And the priestess spoke again and said: "Speak to us of Reason and Passion." And he answered saying: Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite. Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might tur...
A Prayer
'Mid the discordant noises of the day I hear thee calling; I stumble as I fare along Earth's way; keep me from falling. Mine eyes are open but they cannot see for gloom of night: I can no more than lift my heart to thee for inward light. The wild and fiery passion of my youth consumes my sou...
Life
What is our life? A play of passion, Our mirth the music of division, Our mother's wombs the tiring-houses be, Where we are dressed for this short comedy. Heaven the judicious sharp spectator is, That sits and marks still who doth act amiss. Our graves that hide us from the setting sun Are like ...
The Great Fires
Love is apart from all things. Desire and excitement are nothing beside it. It is not the body that finds love. What leads us there is the body. What is not love provokes it. What is not love quenches it. Love lays hold of everything we know. The passions which are called love also change everything...
A Kiss
Exiled on the isle of passion and shackled in the prison of craving. Bottled up emotion - screaming and shouting and searching for an escape. Like a dehydrated deer tracking water -Like a desert hunting an oasis. Deluge of flames enrapture my being with the fervor of a thousand fire. Tra...
Flower Of Love
Sweet, I blame you not, for mine the fault was, had I not been made of common clay I had climbed the higher heights unclimbed yet, seen the fuller air, the larger day. From the wildness of my wasted passion I had struck a better, clearer song, Lit some lighter light of freer freedom, battled with so...
A White Rose
The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove. But I send you a cream-white rosebud With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips
Love
We cannot live, except thus mutuallyWe alternate, aware or unaware,The reflex act of life: and when we bearOur virtue onward most impulsively,Most full of invocation, and to beMost instantly compellant, certes, thereWe live most life, whoever breathes most airAnd counts his dying years by sun and se...
Sonnet 14
If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only. Do not say 'I love her for her smile—her look—her way Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and certes brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'— For these things in t...

Love Sonnet XI
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all dayI hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.I hunger for your sleek laugh,your hands the color of a savage harvest,hunger for the pale stones of your fingern...
Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…In life after life, in age after age, forever.My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,In life after life, in age after age, forever.Whenever I hear ...
Sonnet CXVI
Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,That looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth's unknown, although h...
