I do not see you often with my eyes, But often you are with me in my heart. We rarely speak, but there are deeper ties That keep us close while we must be apart. Friendships don’t depend on sights and sounds, But on the mysteries of need and grace. You’re with me always, unrestrained [...]
When down the stair at morning The sunbeams round her float, Sweet rivulets of laughter Are bubbling in her throat; The gladness of her greeting Is gold without alloy; And in the morning sunlight I think her name is Joy. When in the evening twilight The quiet book-room lies, We read the sad old ballads, [...]
(or ‘Huddersfield the Second Poetry Capital of England Re-visited’) What was it Janice Simmons said to me as James lay dying in Ireland? “Phone Peter Pegnall in Leeds, an ex-pupil of Jimmy’s. He’s organising A benefit reading, he’d love to hear from you and have your help.” ‘Like hell he would’ I thought but I [...]
by Juzzer I think of you When the summer sun shine Whenever I am near you I think of you And I see a bright future between us, Mountains of possibilities and endless sea of smiles, laughter If you only knew, if you just feel the same way for me Source: best-love-poems

To hold you would be holding heaven, Your eyes reflect the stars, Your skin I know is soft as satin, It is you who melts my heart. To taste your lips would be my passion, To feel your breath my first desire, Forever love provides a burden, And one to which I never tire. William [...]
As day light took it’s flight this morning, As each star winked and said goodbye, As night retreated to it’s chamber, And each dew drop began to dry. It was you who stirred my memory, The last I love you that you wrote, You made me sigh inside my longing, And sing aloud your wondrous [...]
Let us not die peacefully. Let us not leave silently, head shakingly, shoulder shruggingly, hearts sighingly. Sombre holy water, sprinkled over those ashy kisses on our mouths from campfired marshmallows as we watched the night sky turn towards the sea would do little. Snuffed candles would not conceal the four moles on your neck Jenkins, [...]
I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguish’d, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; Morn came, and went and came, and brought no day, And men forgot their passions [...]
Arch, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale, Why the deil dinna ye march forward in order! March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale, All the Blue Bonnets are bound for the Border. Many a banner spread, Flutters above your head, Many a crest that is famous in story. Mount and make ready then, Sons of the mountain glen, Fight [...]
How stern are the woes of the desolate mourner As he bends in still grief o’er the hallowed bier, As enanguished he turns from the laugh of the scorner, And drops to perfection’s remembrance a tear; When floods of despair down his pale cheeks are streaming, When no blissful hope on his bosom is beaming, [...]
Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth, And ever changing, like a joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy? Source:poetry-online.org
Armies in the Fire The lamps now glitter down the street; Faintly sound the falling feet; And the blue even slowly falls About the garden trees and walls. Now in the falling of the gloom The red fire paints the empty room: And warmly on the roof it looks, And flickers on the back of [...]
And like a dying lady, lean and pale, Who totters forth, wrapp’d in a gauzy veil, Out of her chamber, led by the insane And feeble wanderings of her fading brain, The moon arose up in the murky East, A white and shapeless mass. Source:poetry-online.org
An Ode, On the Death of Mr. Henry Purcell ( Late Servant to his Majesty, Organist of the Chapel Royal I Mark how the Lark and Linnet Sing, With rival Notes They strain their warbling Throats, To welcome in the Spring. But in the close of Night, When Philomel begins her Heav’nly lay, They cease [...]
AN EPITAPH Walter de la Mare Here lies a most beautiful lady, Light of step and heart was she: I think she was the most beautiful lady That ever was in the West Country. But beauty vanishes; beauty passes; However rare, rare it be; And when I crumble who shall remember This lady of the [...]
A Prayer in Time of War Thou, whose deep ways are in the sea, Whose footsteps are not known, To-night a world that turned from Thee Is waiting at Thy Throne. The towering Babels that we raised Where scoffing sophists brawl, The little Antichrists we praised The night is on them all. The fool hath [...]
