Young miss,
I pray thee,
Please do not
Forsake me.

Young miss,
I want you,
Tell me what
I must do.

Young miss,
My soul burns,
For your touch
My heart yearns.

Young miss,
My eyes zoom,
To the future where our baby lies
In your womb.

Young miss,
Do not fret,
Be not afraid
My heart's set.

Young miss,
Believe in me,
have faith
And you shall see.

Young miss,
By your throne,
Shall I stand strong
I'll not roam.

Young miss,
Your eyes capture,
My mind, body, soul
A divine rapture.

Young miss,
Oh, your past?
I dwell in the future,
For time does not last.

Young miss,
I'm only one man,
But for you I will
Do what I can.

Young miss,
I have, not much --
But from a reciprocated touch
Blooms a reciprocated love.

Young miss,
I pray thee,
Take my hand,
And let's flee.

In Life

In life there are barriers
That cannot be broken

There are oceans
That cannot be crossed

There are envelopes
Doomed to remain forever unsealed
With letters doomed to remain forever unsent, unread

There are mountains
That cannot be climbed

There are secrets
That will themselves to remain forever unspoken

There are stars
That cannot be reached

These are just some of the many things
One has to admit in order to become Adult

Overhead The Tree-Tops Meet

Apr 2013 A O'Dea

Robert Browning

Overhead The Tree-Tops Meet

Overhead the tree-tops meet,
Flowers and grass spring ’neath one’s feet;
There was nought above me, and nought below,
My childhood had not learned to know:
For what are the voices of birds
—Ay, and of beasts,—but words—our words,
Only so much more sweet?
The knowledge of that with my life begun!
But I had so near made out the sun,
And counted your stars, the Seven and One,
Like the fingers of my hand:
Nay, I could all but understand
Wherefore through heaven the white moon ranges,
And just when out of her soft fifty changes
No unfamiliar face might overlook me—
Suddenly God took me!

Langston Hughes

Quiet Girl

I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

Organ theft

***** theft

You stole my little heart.
I know you did;
I saw you take it.
I watched as you cut me open
And removed the pulsating muscle.
You thought I was asleep,
But I let you take it.
I thought that if anyone should have it,
That person should be you.
So do with it as you please...
But I hope that you keep it near you.
It's served me well over the years,
And it's also proven to be a real ***** at times.
But it will keep you warm.
That I can guarantee.
Enjoy.

Stanzas ["Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!"]

Mar 2013 A O'Dea

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Stanzas ["Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!"]

Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!
   I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Come with the starry beams, my love,
   And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.

’Twas thus, as ancient fables tell,
   Love visited a Grecian maid,
Till she disturbed the sacred spell,
   And woke to find her hopes betrayed.

But gentle sleep shall veil my sight,
   And Psyche’s lamp shall darkling be,
When, in the visions of the night,
   Thou dost renew thy vows to me.

Then come to me in dreams, my love,
   I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Come with the starry beams, my love,
   And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.
