FOR ROSE

 

(with regrets)

 

Rose, it doesn`t need me to say

How warm your eyes are,

How full of the merry-dance flicker and play

Of flame. The light of a bright star`s

Cold compared ( that light`s more near,

Snug from your heart-blaze, cosy and charm and cheer).

 

These are but truths.

 

And you`ve got grace girl, your dancing soothes

Tired eyes, as in the music`s slake you move,

Straight as a sea-frond, supple, and slender, and smooth.

 

Friendly as help your smile was, welcome-wide,

So open love it humbled all my pride.

But I – the cold outsider - stayed outside

……………………………………………..

Yes I…the cold outsider…stayed…outside

Harry, yes this is very moving,an apple that wanted picking but the hand reaching out to it froze.
And Thanks for comments on Womb. Ditto I am an old fart who really does not want to labour too hard to 'get' a poem (and I dont do sudoku either.)
