Love Achieves
“Love Achieves”
Ife my love a sea can touch
Where words and love cannot confess
The very shadows of the soul
Or find the rose of all desire
No flaw or flame thus to know
That time concedes upon the heart
The chain of sorrow’s crimson kiss
That makes each moment paradise
And leads us to eternal bliss
Ife one vivid line of love
Which shares with nature autumn’s last
Stolid lancing redolent glance
Cast at length upon the place
Where hearts and stars cannot so die
Like a vampire serene within a tomb
Long bereft of sunlight’s smile
But death has waited every mile
And every mile I have dreamed
Dreamed as much as lovers when
Walking on some golden shore
Kiss and find that love is more
Than all that man has yet aspired
In science or technology
For there my love I find the blush
The rose that’s cast upon the sea
And sails across to be with thee
But in pursuit of loving best
I die within my soul
For what pen or poet cannot know
That love achieves
All forgiveness
