Diving

I too hear my amino acids vanishing

 Down the hourglass evening

 Watching you on my plasma

 That screen above my heart

 Last night with you, eyes closed

 Like the last movement of The 1812 Overture

 Church bells thundering, cannons thumping 

Red blood coursing In veins filled with doubt and ecstasy

 You told me you were letting me go

 But I just got closer

 Closer to beginning the ascent

 To that cliff above the sea

 Where I dive or slink back

 To the hotel room and curl like a dog

, sighing about How I might have won you if…

 Then I am airborne, salt stinging

 Bones ready to be crushed Eyes open, hoping

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD

By William Wordsworth

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay: 10
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood, 20
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
