To my beloved Carito,
A farewell by Coventry Patmore
With all my will, but much against my heart,
We two now part.
My Very Dear,
Our solace is, the sad road lies so clear.
It needs no art,
With faint, averted feet
And many a tear,
In our opposed paths to persevere.
Go thou to east, I west.
We will not say
There’s any hope, it’s so far away.
But, O, my best,
When the one darling of our widowhead,
The nursling Grief,
Is dead,
And no dews blur our eyes
To see the peach-bloom come in evening skies,
Perchance we may,
Where now this night is day,
And even though faith of still averted feet,
Making full circle of our banishment,
Amazed feet;
The bitter journey to the bourne so sweet
Seasoning the termless feast of our content
With tears of recognition never dry.
The Taxi By Amy Lowell
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum.
I call out for you against the jutted stars
And shout into the ridges of the wind
Streets coming fast,
One after the other,
Wedge you away from me
And the lamps of the city prick my eyes
So that I can no longer see your face.
Why should I leave you,
To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?
Destiny By Dark Night Rider
Oh ostentatious tragedy of mine
Has carried your will on my destiny.
In a cold winter night she was brought to me
But a colder winter night she is taken away.
Sinister path we both go
I follower her, she ran away
Who I can blame?
Who can this explain?
When from her away I am
The night with its frozen arms embrace me so hard.
The day scorches my skin with its wimp of heat.
So much enjoyment my pain brings to them.
Oh vindictive destiny of mine.
A year away from me you took her away.
365 days turned in 365 years.
Waiting the only choice was given to me.
Oh villainous destiny of mime,
A unbelievable rumor of her returning reached me.
She came back in a hot day
Now in a hotter day gone she is.
Once I hopefully my seeds on her heart I want.
But weed killed them, in desperation I found myself.
No road to go, no word to say; just resentment toward my love one.
Cowardice was my name. Odium was my given name.
Oh tragic destiny of mine has put me in such pain
Now, a departure is the next thing to do.
An eternal farewell so no more pain to her shall be given.
But I will take all on me.
Oh Carito, deity of my sky sorry for me shall no feel
As a casted Demon, your eyes shall see me.
Once suffering soul was I that your smile cured.
I wanted more, another smile, a hug, a touch, a kiss.
In my crime, the atonement was given
Well deserved well given no word against it
I take it because I deserved
I take it because is just
Now, I need your smile so I can smile, too.
I yearn for holding you between my aching arms.
I long for my fingers to caress her face
Like the thirsty man in from of the tender river.
Oh Celestial parent, that un-given kiss
Is haunting me day and night. Cursing me
It wants to be given to those rose-pale lips of hers.
I want to deliver. She doesn’t want it.
Oh cruel destiny of mine. No passion could I give
A friend cannot I be. It’s disgraceful.
Cannot I tolerate her seeing her in other arms
Cannot I see her leaving after other.
I need to leave. I need to run away
So Death in my rescue can come
Five year just her memory fed me.
But more I want.
Oh lord, please give strength to stay away
I cannot take this anymore. No, without her
Give direction to follow, but if I can go
Bestow on me the gift of the eternal sleep.
Since I can be around her, let be the wind
So I can touch her face when she is not looking
Or let me be the rain so I can surprise from behind
Or better her shadow so I can be with her always
Since no more around will be, Carito, allow me
For the last time to love you.
Let me in your dreams to love you
Like you love me in mine.
Oh wondrous destiny of mine. Thanks
For bringing her to me. Thank you for being
I’m not sad because it’s over, but
Happy because it happened to me.
