• I yearn to live and love and burn, and yet so much of my time is spent faking and forgetting, faking and forgetting I carry out my disbelief with uninspired hands, my eyes shut, my emotions dulled, my spirit numb.

• The solid, solid universe
  Is pervious to Love;
  With bandaged eyes he never errs,
  Around, below, above.
  His blinding light
  He flingeth white

  And reconciles
  By mystic wiles
  The evil and the good.

Nothing as I hoped it had been. Only as it had been.

  does not know how to love, that

  the soft light of the moon?
