Ever soft as the clouds we buy a fairer touch
had I but taken her lasting breathe away,
unto whom do I owe such love?
Sickening thoughts----but not in such violence
of an aching, a wanting of lust;
hire me a heart from what great distance
and weeping does she come in mourning,
made white by such offerings.
The flowers beg to have a reason—sweet does the
honey sit un-tasted in its natural stance,
ending on what lips but yours in flavor
and I the longing serpent that wishes to poison you, --
and yet can only kiss you in my sleep
be gone, be gone! Sweet thoughts on tide ridden dreams.
What shame can be the greatest of them all
to see the blush or be the blusher,
and trembling in our passing passion we stir the clouds
and the goddess you become in such a place.

I can read that no lady would have been safe
in the court of Elizabeth
with you running around in tights
