I found some interesting poems the other day and thought of sharing with my readers. These poems are adapted from Rupert Brooke 1914 and Other Poems.
A Memory ( From a sonnet - sequence ) By Waikiki
Some while before the dawn I rose, and stept Softly along the dim way to your room, And found you sleeping in the quiet gloom, And holiness about you as you slept. I knelt there; till your waking fingers crept About my head and held it. I had rest Unhoped this side of Heaven, beneath your breast. I knelt a long time, still; not even wept.
It was great wrong you did me; and for gain Of that poor moment's kindliness, and ease, And sleepy mother-comfort! Child, you know How easily love leaps out todreams like these, Who has seen them true. And love that's wakened so Takes all too long to lay asleep again.
Doubts
When she sleeps, her soul, I know, Goes a wanderer on the air, Wings where I may never go, Leaves her lying, still and fair, Waiting, empty, laid aside, Like a dress upon a chair... This I know, and yet I know Doubts that will not be denied
For if the soul be not in place, What has laid trouble in her face? And, sits there nothing ware and wise Behind the curtains of her eyes, What is it, in the self's eclipse, Shadows, soft and passingly, About the corners of her lips, The smile that is essential she?
And if the spirit be not there, Why is fragrance in the hair?
- Life is such a mystery.
as the mystery unveils…
