fragrant night, foretell some silly discretion of mine.
the reason methinks be discontenting love.
protesting my sharp desire,
made this woman hear it,
need,
pounce,
fall.
morrow breaks.
-----------------------------------
fragrant moment of harvest
whisper ahead not at some course morrow,
at this circumstance who’s horizon vanishes.
fight despair.
soothe valour.
become true worlds shadow.
-----------------------------------
at heart how wicked a wish.
thee compare me on Caesar?
I am bored.
end it.
kill wishes.
-----------------------------------
remind brave Juliet,
sorrow smiling freely in rain,
hear time above sound.
-------------------------------------
mountain cold breath
soft forest shade give warmth
stream run to calm pond
she’s lord to my life
--------------------------------
rise tempest!
create kind comedy.
why create superstitious love?
to weep?
ignore his black regret.
make wind box water.
-----------------------------
mad mind hath heart friend.
I shall float above time.
thou seek thy universe.
remind people about morrow,
and wish . . .
---------------------------
I won’t despair who’s gone.
what strained shadow ‘tis self.
make thy own care your way.
want.
get.
leave.
------------------------------
dear dream cans’t remember mercy
whence thee lover killed peace
when fog laughed
-----------------------------
this tempest breeze is a whisper
as dawn smiles.
give a human moment chance.
------------------------------
me thinks calm reason
breaths soft life to players.
mountain shade was warm.
she loved mischief.
---------------------------------
let ice harvest bring water
anxious hope of thine end
blossom at kind horizon
