Poem
**** Would like to preface my return, and many apologies to fellow poets who may have missed my absence. Though I did not have much luck in love this past year, this poem was written years ago; I think it is a fine poem though sad, which some may know my attempts at sweet-sorrow have well pleased many. The poem not only reflects tragic romance, but spiritual matters; the instructive distinction that its the soul or heart who remembers things of love, rather than the mind; I think of my passed loved ones in my view with my heart felt memories rather than a mental memory, for example. I find the 'idea' or notion poetically at least interesting and pertinent to romanticism, which is the poem's theme.***





How honeyed her perfume pastille 
  imbued many a god from their tower
Shook all the gloom which lonely men feel
  she some mistress of darling power;
  teems she the night with sweet mist
  desires she all the allure of nymphs

She has strolled my garden many a time
  forgotten I, the devil's music playing in the hills
  and the sad forsaken tresses ---
  weeping as a child;
  or the dying swan and all her lamenting trills;
    how many faces of God to touches of love
    how many more gods,
    though there need be but One?

How femme she-so-fatale and not enduring
  with soft, she pecks my cheek
  and all the universe her eyes ---
  so sweet her kiss as worlds fade in yearning
  to cinnamon lips, she of eyes wandering and wild;
  twas her soul I wished to hold
    with curves, lingering delicate
    and never cold

Death shall take her to the lonely-wood....
  from me shall fade the petal most crimson
  about the night no more a-roving I could
  nor velvet embraces with she my love;
    the temporal love shall fall to heather
    the winds blow, and the tempest's trumpet
    roars about her whisper;
      but in the deepest dark I roved the delve;
      twas my soul which remembered
      (Scarlet)
