To Yasmeen February 14, 2003

Rating: 2.7


What I have loved in you
Is a world shimmering, like a white sea,
Unmoved, sailing upon itself,
Whose unknown depth of richness
Pearls from below.

In my heart, I ache for you
Like land seething, seeking its own shape
Substance craving form,
Idea knowing itself as end.

And I have nothing – no substance, no form, no
Words
To sing again in Love’s dimension:
After your eyes,
After your beauty,
All language is lost;
All is shadow, all is chaos, borne
Helpless on Love’s endless voice.
