Loving knows as lovers pass
  Fancy roaming free:
  Look into the looking glass,
  Tell me what you see?

I see a sparkle,
Dance of sun on hair
Memories of playfulness
Before I was aware.
My seeds are scattered wide,
Rooted in the mire,
The might-be or the passing glance
That sets the breast afire.

I see a moonbeam
Lighting on her arm;
Romance is my birth-sign,
Slighting does me harm.
Comfort is my bounty,
Rising out of pain;
Pleasure my ambrosia,
Solitude my bane.

  Why must we long so
  For that which cannot be?
  Looking in the mirror now,
  What is it you see?

I see them weeping,
Turmoil of the soul;
Bitterness my aftermath,
Pitiless and cruel.
Many forms are mine to hold
Few of these are pure -
That when such perfect lovers meet
The bond is all the truer.

  If handsome is as handsome does
  Then Love's an ugly child:
  Who never felt a futile lust
  Has surely had it mild.
  It doesn't care for pain or loss,
  A broken heart will bleed -
  But if and when Love gets it right,
  Why then - there's bliss indeed!

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
