When I am old, and comforted,
  And done with this desire,
With Memory to share my bed
  And Peace to share my fire,

I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands
  Beneath my laundered cap,
And watch my cool and fragile hands
  Lie light upon my lap.

And I will have a sprigged gown
  With lace to kiss my throat;
I'll draw my curtain to the town,
  And hum a purring note.

And I'll forget the way of tears,
  And rock, and stir my tea.
But oh, I wish those blessed years
  Were further than they be!
O leave your hand where it lies cool
Upon the eyes whose lids are hot:
Its rosy shade is bountiful
Of silence, and assuages thought.
O lay your lips against your hand
And let me feel your breath through it,
While through the sense your song shall fit
   The soul to understand.

The music lives upon my brain
Between your hands within mine eyes;
It stirs your lifted throat like pain,
An aching pulse of melodies.
Lean nearer, let the music pause:
The soul may better understand
Your music, shadowed in your hand
   Now while the song withdraws.
Nothing good comes from sterile and pure
The best things in life spring up from manure.
i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
Whenever you're sad, whenever you're gloomy
I'll only be here for you to make you happy
Even though it may not seem and it's not obvious
But for me you are the only mose precious

You may not know it, but to me you're special
You are the very one and the only original
My feelings fo you keeps growing each day
And I never thought I would feel this way

If you could only ever fathom my heart
You'd know that I've already loved you from the start
Funny it may seems but I did not want you to know
This feeling of mine that doesn't seem to go

But now, I want the whole wide world to see
About how important you are to me
Hugs, kisses, and this poem I offer you
And my heart that will forever be true
