— Valentine



by Elinor Wylie



Too high, too high to pluck
 My heart shall swing.
 A fruit no bee shall suck,
 No wasp shall sting.
 
 If on some night of cold
 It falls to ground
 In apple-leaves of gold
 I’ll wrap it round.
 
 And I shall seal it up
 With spice and salt,
 In a carven silver cup,
 In a deep vault.

 Before my eyes are blind
 And my lips mute,
 I must eat core and rind
 Of that same fruit.

 Before my heart is dust
 At the end of all,
 Eat it I must, I must
 Were it bitter gall.
 
 But I shall keep it sweet
 By some strange art;
 Wild honey I shall eat
 When I eat my heart.

 O honey cool and chaste
 As clover’s breath!
 Sweet Heaven I shall taste
 Before my death.

Song


 by John Donne

 Go and catch a falling star,
 Get with child a mandrake root,
 Tell me where all past years are,
 Or who cleft the devils foot;
 Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
 Or to keep off envy's stinging,
 And find
 What wind
 Serves to advance an honest mind.

 If thou be'st born to strange sights,
 Things invisible to see,
 Ride ten thousand days and nights
 Till Age snow white hairs on thee;
 Thou, when thou return'st wilt tell me
 All strange wonders that befell thee,
 And swear
 No where
 Lives a woman true and fair.

 If thou find'st one let me know;
 Such a pilgrimage were sweet.
 Yet do not; I would not go,
 Though at next door we might meet.
 Though she were true when you met her,
 And last, till you write your letter,
 Yet she
 Will be
 False, ere I come, to two or three.

 

Good

A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR

Author: Anonymous


In this world full of hurt and pain,
I need someone who would help me through the rain.
To comfort me when Im sad,
Doing everything just to make me glad.

In this world I need a Brave Knight,
Who would never give up any fight.
A knight who would dry away my tears,
Telling me to overcome my fears.

A knight who loves me for who I am inside,
With him there's nothing more I need to hide.
A person who will still be standing strong,
Eventhough everything has gone wrong.

I need someone who is willing to give me more,
Someone I can call my Knight In Shining Armor.
