Poem #63 Idleness

Echoes of tea
Through thoughts of plainer muse
Kinder with less glee
But there is not such creatures
wayward Chaucer knew
Leading beside so many strangers
The turn inward
Soberly seek vengeance
On generous light
His head crowned
A smile to common
Idleness
Beside his lurking lips
Circles do not capture
Fear but make strange face
Chaste wit surprise
Spoke men
Valleys swelling
Or ye fill touched
By the scrip gentle girls
Kept weary of strange scriptures
Great god Pan living
Great bounty of our lord eating mushrooms
Songs spread thick with meaning
Sparkling bright
Thy eternal whisper
Flower dress melody desolate of ideas
And filled with tunes that need words to them
sphinx heard us, the day the turtles ran
Soul sunny meadows realms fair chuckling
Words of unborn thought
Willing upward drawn path round
Hidden delight silvery echoes our king
Dodge heaven be still dull ethereal a symbol
An unknown but no more,
Something completed of all perfection
Drooping west sun did not obey me
Paradise cheeks with light tints now sweeter
Venus rose her breath that of waves torn
And a handful of daisies to me
Magic sleep hush liberty
Tumbling mazy world
Lives over gone
Full of light sleeping over
Ripe sleek tarring world
Wed coral reefs
Cupids kneeling chocking on
 of our pollution
 this is what love has known
cold fingers my own margin
nevertheless written with words listel
realness bowed head to pages read
when not full woken

bending low before the world
