Now I out walking
The world desert,
And my shoe and my stocking
Do me no hurt.

I leave behind
Good friends in town.
Let them get well-wined
And go lie down.

Don't think I leave
For the outer dark
Like Adam and Eve
Put out of the Park.

Forget the myth.
There is no one I
Am put out with
Or put out by.

Unless I'm wrong
I but obey
The urge of a song:
I'm bound away!

And I may return
If dissatisfied
With what I learn
From having died.

I like it, I wish to be as poetic as you all the time. The only time I get remotely poetic is when I feel a wild passion for someone, and then the words just flow

libraschoice7,

When I was from Cupid's passions free,
my Muse was mute and wrote no elegy.
- Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD), Amores

A seeker went to ask a sage
for guidance on the Sufi way.
The sage counseled,
'If you have never trodden the path of love,
go away and fall in love;
then come back and see us.'
- Jami, Essential Sufism

Oh my, I adore Ovid, especially "The Art of Love" it was more of a 'manual' of sort on how to obtain a lover and keep them wanting more, it even left the reader panting ...so controversial for his time, what a man!

libraschoice7,

This is definitely for you:

This one is good too,
and less daunting:

Both highly romantic.

Heart Shaped Cross,

Thts a beautiful poem.. there is another poem of Robert Frost that I have forgotten except some lines...;

the woods are beautiful
dark and deep
but
I have miles to go
and promises to keep
before I sleep

these lines have haunted me on most-unusual of times... if you know will you please paste the link or poem here ..

regards,
Highly Inflammable.
