Sail Sail Love

-lesson^^plan-

Oh sail bloody-sweet crimson Love,
And pervade the sporadic sea;
A Victor-face, a battle-fair-
Where from the celestials above,
Hail with splendor and eternity
The passionate flare!
Hold steadfast Captain of hundred fleets,
And anchor on my heart a safe abode
Your armor in every surging torrent!
Where you find no retreat
Subdue and carry no burden the load,
Caress in my embrace- warm and fervent.


Love’s Horizon

At a shadow far
From across the tidal bar,
At a foggy sweep
From the rustling creep,
Of the murmur’s speech
‘Yond the mouthful reach,
A shower of a shooting star!
By the zephyr’s loudest whisper
Flows softly the words a-geyser
Of radiant midnight’s touch,
Of daylight’s cold moon catch,
Swaddle me, lights unclear;
Naked eye blind from despair!
And lull your dawning fair
‘Til I awake no sleepless
Deaths compare!
