Reason, Why I kissed you Because Im scared that you leave me Reason, I hold your hand Is because I'm scared to loose you Reason, I hug you close Is because I'm scared you replace me Reason, I call for you Is because I'm scared you'll never look at me Reason, I cry for you, Is because I'm scared you'll never love me.

Soon Enough

Soon enough I'll find them Soon enough they'll stray Then I'll find ropes to bind them And lock them all away Soon enough they'll leave me Like they always do Soon enough I'll cry Alone, under the moon

Clark Ashton Smith

Abandoned Plum-Orchard

Lichen, mistletoe, aloft In the dying croft, Leaf the winter trees.

Winifred Welles

Idyll

Not the wise, quiet pine nor the amorous, blonde oak Nor the tall, pale, lady elm tree, But you, who came invisible in a magic cloak, You, who were the wind, chose me. I, the white little birch, who had stood alone, serene, Content to listen and to stare — And I never saw your hands that tore my veils of green. Nor your lips that laughed in my hair. You held me and kissed me, I knew your strength and grace And dreams rose like sap in the spring. I trembled as with buds, but I never saw your face, I only heard you whispering. So yawning and careless you went on to field and sea, So here I am lonely and still — Oh wind, wind, better to have broken me Than leave me with roots in the hill.

John Gould Fletcher

The Well

The well is not used now, Its waters are tainted. I remember there was once a man went down To clean it. He found it very cold and deep, With a queer niche in one of its sides, From which he hauled forth buckets of bricks and dirt.
