14 Sonnet Words Of Lesser Souls. On "Sonnets From The Portuguese"

"The Words Of Lesser Souls Are Mere Shadows On

The Face Of Love's Timepiece; There Is No

Difference Between True Lovers -- Not Even Time."



There is no diff'rence posing in between

our bodies, source of mortal sense and love.

It's you, who brought me all, and stayed to prove

deep love is fact, and not mere idle scene.

Life's sodden parts (from old tears) were unseen,

each lay alone, apart, afraid to move,

or to re-gather and new body prove

My dreams were plans, and now they form Love's scene.

Worth more than a million years of "what might be",

is one full second closely holding you.

My whole heart opens for your luscious needs

and finds your blossom, and sups gorgeous dew,

sends root again, again in you from me.

Love grows its galaxies from stars as seeds.
