I
I read and sigh and wish (*)
With your eyes see the red upon
leaves of a rose tree and the thorns
Transparent in the sun

The throb of Philomel
Echoes my heart and I feel
Blindly for a symbol
I read and sigh and wish

In the interregnum
Since we met and till we meet
I place you in numerous vignettes
And shade you with admiring epithets

(*) George Herbert
II
Vanity nods back from the glass
And wears a barber's coat and stoops across

The white alp of my shoulder and snips
Before a journey this is one of the first steps

Then I am hot and cold as if desire
Had me a victim between ice and fire

My eyes are closed and water pours
(I see you walking near the sea's blue paws)

At last the toilet ends and I can look
Into the mirror but not for my sake

For you my dearest walking by the sea
My hair is trimmed and deluged, not for me

III
Darts, flames, and cupids,
Pierce, burn, and hover;
Cupid's arrow pierced me
And made a man a lover.

Darts, flames, and cupids,
Are emblems of desire;
I have exchanged a pumping heart
For a centre of fire.
