Dan_B_89 - Hello Poetry

How much I've missed those distant places Moonlit acres—empty and wild Birches in braces aglow in the light How much I've missed those strangers faces Stolen embraces—frozen in time Partners in pairs wrapped in layers and light I've missed those many moonlit miles with whom alone I'd share your name From where your frozen figure came, and shone with rain— and went abruptly as you came

Birches by Night

How much I've missed those distant places Moonlit acres—empty and wild Birches in braces aglow in the light How much I've missed those strangers faces Stolen embraces—frozen in time Partners in pairs wrapped in layers and light I've missed those many moonlit miles with whom alone I'd share your name From where your frozen figure came, and shone with rain— and went abruptly as you came

There's nothing can be done but wait— till promise looms— while April's passions blithely bloom Brighter the days, though bitterly cold The view is a carpet of flowery knolls Studded with poppies and daisies of white Flowers aglow in the loitering light— Oh could I tarry, and oh could I stay Oh could I pair with this blossoming glade Could I linger and lie under stretches of sky I would linger and lie for an age

Bloom of April

There's nothing can be done but wait— till promise looms— while April's passions blithely bloom Brighter the days, though bitterly cold The view is a carpet of flowery knolls Studded with poppies and daisies of white Flowers aglow in the loitering light— Oh could I tarry, and oh could I stay Oh could I pair with this blossoming glade Could I linger and lie under stretches of sky I would linger and lie for an age

Between the blacks of bending trees I meet the moon at in betweens I glimpse her glories, wild and worn Aglow atop a stirring storm Oh breathing birches blown about Beneath her silver silence Beyond the fields I farthest see Along the dark horizon There the hymns of heavy winds Beyond the blown and gloomy leas Where ghostly grass and rushing reeds Dance darkly 'round my falling feet

Out of Mind

Between the blacks of bending trees I meet the moon at in betweens I glimpse her glories, wild and worn Aglow atop a stirring storm Oh breathing birches blown about Beneath her silver silence Beyond the fields I farthest see Along the dark horizon There the hymns of heavy winds Beyond the blown and gloomy leas Where ghostly grass and rushing reeds Dance darkly 'round my falling feet

Littered and black along glittering paths How you shake them from sleep How you suddenly sweep aside loitering leaves How you throw them aloft, like some fluttering flock How you set them to flight! How you hurry them off, to the wintery night.

She Wore Leaves

Littered and black along glittering paths How you shake them from sleep How you suddenly sweep aside loitering leaves How you throw them aloft, like some fluttering flock How you set them to flight! How you hurry them off, to the wintery night.

Before the stormy night they stand The empty buildings high and grand Windows black and diamond plated The stars about their glassy faces Monoliths and moonlight kissed All tightly packed against the winds Freezing stone and white as bone Alight along the rainy roads And further still the swirling hills Receive the heavens overhead Some mighty tryst, an inky rush From here I watch them touch

Agnes at a Distance

Before the stormy night they stand The empty buildings high and grand Windows black and diamond plated The stars about their glassy faces Monoliths and moonlight kissed All tightly packed against the winds Freezing stone and white as bone Alight along the rainy roads And further still the swirling hills Receive the heavens overhead Some mighty tryst, an inky rush From here I watch them touch

I wish to know, where blizzards blow And bring their snow without me To know the night beyond the light Of cities, dark and downy Those solemn spaces, old and wild With hoary fields asway Where trees are darker than the sky Where everlong I'd stay I wish to tread, like ashes spread Some buoyant body brought along While diamonds glitter overhead And I amidst their starry throng

Upon a Star

I wish to know, where blizzards blow And bring their snow without me To know the night beyond the light Of cities, dark and downy Those solemn spaces, old and wild With hoary fields asway Where trees are darker than the sky Where everlong I'd stay I wish to tread, like ashes spread Some buoyant body brought along While diamonds glitter overhead And I amidst their starry throng

On high and in whole looms a glimmering globe On a mountain of cloud, on her wintery throne Diana every man has known From there she casts her ashen glory Upon my buildings highest storey From there and paired with stars in tow She maps the routes and lights the roads Beyond black trees all sharp and blown Through feral fields for miles untold How she bridges their breadth without effort or labor How I envy pallid plains set all alight beneath her favor

Godess Envy

On high and in whole looms a glimmering globe On a mountain of cloud, on her wintery throne Diana every man has known From there she casts her ashen glory Upon my buildings highest storey From there and paired with stars in tow She maps the routes and lights the roads Beyond black trees all sharp and blown Through feral fields for miles untold How she bridges their breadth without effort or labor How I envy pallid plains set all alight beneath her favor

From where I'd watched the roses blown Their bodies bent and brightly doused Their forms aroused in wiry crowds Petals pink upon a breeze are thrown about the golden eve Such a fabulous flock, how I envy their flight! How I covet their course, sailing into the night

Roses in the Rain

From where I'd watched the roses blown Their bodies bent and brightly doused Their forms aroused in wiry crowds Petals pink upon a breeze are thrown about the golden eve Such a fabulous flock, how I envy their flight! How I covet their course, sailing into the night

As like when they were children now they curtsy at the cross Then all once they take their seats and turn their gaze upon The august priest in silken robes, ornately trimmed and white And urging them to prayer between the readings and the rites The man of god, his hands aloft move practiced through the air His winsome words bring ease upon the crosses which they bear His mirthful moans and dulcet tones resounding through the chamber By candlelight I then decide To stay for the remainder

Elders At Prayer

As like when they were children now they curtsy at the cross Then all once they take their seats and turn their gaze upon The august priest in silken robes, ornately trimmed and white And urging them to prayer between the readings and the rites The man of god, his hands aloft move practiced through the air His winsome words bring ease upon the crosses which they bear His mirthful moans and dulcet tones resounding through the chamber By candlelight I then decide To stay for the remainder

When ills and ails have ceased and summered I'll wander widely, unencumbered In my body through those golden streets And gold the higher half of trees How often I dream of that sudden restoring Of boldly exploring places farther afoot Those redolent roads where I'd carried my love, where our words had been said Where some later day I will wander far again

Tomorrow Someplace

When ills and ails have ceased and summered I'll wander widely, unencumbered In my body through those golden streets And gold the higher half of trees How often I dream of that sudden restoring Of boldly exploring places farther afoot Those redolent roads where I'd carried my love, where our words had been said Where some later day I will wander far again
