Pale To Fade Poem by Mervyn Graham

Pale To Fade



These things you say of beauty
In truth it's spoke, not of her
but of needs unsalted,

Beauty is not a need
But an ecstasy
A thirsting, however quenched

Pale lines drawn dark
Dark line fading to pale
Speak not of the image

That image can often lie
Think more of the being, with-in
Her heart, her soul, is more than the whole
