A SINGLE NIGHT / LOVE  SONG
How shall I hold my soul, that it may not be touching yours? How shall I lift it thenaboove you to where other things are waiting? Ah, gladly would I lodge it, all-forgot,with some lost thing the dark is isolating on some remote and silent spot that, when your depths vibrate, is not itself vibrating.

You and me - all that lights upon us, though, brings us together like a fiddle-bow drawing one voice from two strings it glides along.  Across what instruments have we been spanned ? And what violinist holds us in his hand ?/ O sweetest song.

THE VOICE OF HER EYES
SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELLED

Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which I cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose me
though I have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
( touching skilfully, mysteriously ) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, I and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intence fragility : whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

( I do not know what it is about you that closes and
opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses )
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
