Oath
even now
by insignificance
she fades
toward some
internal images
oscillation
whose
infrequent wave
carries less and less
the receding form
the touching smile
unchanged
so sad
she fails
yet finally I know
when she is equal
to all in light
and shade
that her beauty
i might grasp or
brush away
then this breaths
right to rise
should come
that day
and
of these
reaches
will my sanity
be made
To live then
to hope
to live
till cruel
this iron master
love
it may
by star
or tidal shadow
break
or sway
