Over the wave-patterned sea-floor
Over the long sunburnt ridge of the world,
I bid the winds seek you.
I bid them cry to you
Night and morning
A name you loved once;
I bid them bring to you
Dreams, and strange imaginings, and sleep.

The lark is silent in his nest,

I Knew a Woman
By Theodore Roethke


I knew a girl, a vision in the light,

Good-bye — the Going utter me —
Good night, I still reply —

For parting, that is night,
And presence, simply dawn —
Itself, the purple on the hight
Denominated morn.

love is the kind light behind your eyes
awakening much like the early sunrise
it gives warmth without even a thought
and finds you out never having been sought
brightening the days and filling the night
reflects from the moon a giant…

I am the moon
Radiant, elegant, graceful
Romantic, inspiring, guiding
People look up to me to guide them in soul-searching and to give advice
Admire my beauty
People on Earth look up to me for help or sheer delight
Everyone mingling, bound to…

“The magic eyes of my beloved.”

I have seen a beauty in your eyes

that human eyes have never seen.

You are my angel, my dearest being,

In your eyes I see the moon slowly rising.



In your hypnotic eyes the stars twinkle,

Written after seeing Millet’s World-Famous Painting

God made man in His own image,
in the image of God made He him. —Genesis.
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his…

There’s a million stars….

There’s a million stars up in the sky. And one of them is shining bright for me. If I could I’d fly beyond the clouds. To hold you very gently in my arms.

Do you shine for me. Don’t shine for no one else. Save your…
