An artist is what is call’d the self that the brush holdeth –Though hath it then caringly caress’d the Canvas of to-morrow?,O Canvas! for thee I hold my tool – still! passionless it quivereth,Minding not that my hands are more than apt;My Muse, Where is hiddenThe blue-huéd arch’neath the High Heaven’s rich emblazonry,The flowery meadow, […]

Bacchante
Ado with a mean woe,An ado as aglow:Belying the paynimThou rewrot’st the tome –An ivy-crown’d and dancing,And fawn’d and trancing –Espying the surly wud,And heeding her not. Celebration Afear’d of Bacchante,And dost thou ‘hold the yill? –Behind is the sleepless;Eyne ‘holding na mo. Celebration «Onto the paper scribe I the words that fro my heart […]

Sweet Art Thou
Stay still patient; wilt thou my sister of merciful troth be?I shall attempt the halter of thy life make less lighten’d! I shall climb the yew,Will it subdue me or not! Swooning emotions smite my bosom –I have in aptness depriev’d thy eyrieOh! – but ne’er alas; Fro many another a lass –Lodge here fore’ermore. […]
Liquid Man
He says to her, "There’s a woman in the upstairs window"She turns and looksThe blurred image of the echo fades awayAs the silhouette setShe’s smoking a cigaretteAnd he dissolves like smokeAs the silhouette turned and spoke,"Want to stop you, I can’t save you"Sometimes he begins to revereThe stance, the smile, the vial, the lineFrom inside […]
Let You Down
no risk, no fun I’m here, you’re goneI’m cool, you’re hot I love you notDon’t say a wordUnless you’re heardI know I hate to see you rudeI think I’ll let you downYou should have let me goI think I’ll make you leave‘Cause you have lost controlYou’ve pushed the line too farBye-byeTurn over, there’s no need […]
