Oh! Patience, My Love.
Have hit both my eyes an unknown storm --
the undoer of my marry Spring,
is beneath my brow a gushing form,
does a drench'd cheek to a yearner bring.
My auguries, that once blessed with love,
have gales become, for a trial of
the touchstone of my faithful shape,
loyal shadows that the future rake;
does my pain emit a cunning drape,
that when praise of love, the evils shake;
still, endure this, to a phase submit,
but, wit, my wit --is my patience fit,
are my gardens, for these storms to reave,
the fruits to come of better degree;
Or will steadfast be love, if believe,
in shade of the fruitless, standing tree.
Maybe, the grandeur of love is not grand
unless we bear our share of pains at hand.

Faith, belief in the unknown,
Hope in the unfathomable
Reliance on the uncertain
Fleeting blessing, sexy mercy
Sweet contempt, I hold you.
The missing line in the rows of
corn
The implementation raven
The middleman hovering nigh
and up
Oh knot tightener.
Why do thou elude him?
Your ardent yearner
The boy-man;
who seeks thy face
The soldier-seer;
who craves thine audience.
What's the grudge unheard?
Why the muteness, why the
act
Why the wise game of chess?
Why the incessant sign-flash.
Is his spirit stick-Lean
Does the refuse lie with him?
Infant soul, impertinent mind
Elephant heart, vast pate.
Undoings of the co-defendant
Reveal thee; my desire
Connect me, his sob.
Immerse him, HIS mandate.
Faith, there lies your task

Moonlight irks the beast
disrupts slumber, illuminates retnas
red as coals, bright as fire in darkness
hard to catch glimpses of.
Crooked cane legs, dexterious to the T
She trains her offspring to rise to the occasion
Trains them to murder, ravage, prey
Penetrated by young.
Weaknesses unexplained to each
Such that they derive from
No love though same effect, affect
Consumed.
succumb to nature, succumb to instinct
not give in, but Become, Learn
Put forth effortless thoughts
Be the yearner, the stalker, the hunter, not the hunted.
