A drowning song

Leaves float golden on a silver bank,

kissing the dark heart of ocean,

soft, like dew on dewdrops melt.

My heart, a coral, asleep among the reeds,

evades the diver's eye, unless he goes

deep, deep, my love.

Caliban

The wind in my hair,
the stars in my eyes,
I will ever live like this,
the son below the heaven's stair.

Oh my life is killing me,
but the rain is cool,
it makes me lie on grass,
and dream like a fool.

For ever and ever,
I would dream of grace,
purity of the jewel sky,
the thunder cloud's silver.

Last Dance

Red in my lips, the red beneath your flesh,

dance and meet in rhythmic pirouettes,

My heart, a coal that burns and sings,

in the agony of ebbing romance.
