Love Lies Bleeding, Dreams Breaking On the Sea
Constant sorrow, longing heart
A wounded soul that wishes to help
A sickened body that cannot die
Hating the physical condition
Yearning for the healing staff
Wishing I could help, knowing my body is sickly
Yearning and hoping my strength returns soon
Like a dream upon the sea of stars
Hurting the heart when my lover,
Doesn't believe my capacities

Love Lies Bleeding
By Parizo Van Thulare
No more feelings to spare
No more good times to share
Not even tears to shed
Nor Kisses to spread
One's heart is blur
One's mind turned to a fur
These pictures are the ones to stare
Rewinding memories when love was found
But they are of no use
Is all lost
It was

Love Lies Bleeding
Amaranthus weeps in Summer's first burning.
Tears hang suspended from a fracturing heart.

My Love Lies Bleeding (Part Iii)

with the vine on grassy banks, and my love lies

My Love Lies Bleeding (Part Ii)
I turn and run down to the wet places where fawns remedy their
thirst from the waterbrooks. Panting, I fall to my knees and gather buttercups,
crowsfoots, hellebore and peonies and grind the crimson, white, yellow and

with

My Love Lies Bleeding (Part I)
My love lies bleeding among the meadowbeauties, purple,
entangled by hairy caltrop around her delicate feet and ankles. Climbing upward,
its thistled fruit prick my fingers and palms; as I unsnarl the dodder from her full
lips, its stems strengthen around her sultry paps and loins, and the binds tighten
around her slender arms and
