15. Sonnet Arms Hold Us Apart, Eyes Bind Us Close. On Sonnets From The Portuguese."

"Arms Hold Us Apart, Eyes Bind Us Close."





You reach your  hands to me, and so between

my reach and your soft touch there stays a pause.

Lily !  The wuind lifts scents it sways across,

exploring deep heart-caverns yearning has seen.

I giva away to you my dreams, my cause,

with hope that some or all may to you mean

something, or same thing; lonesomeness between.

I'm made for you; you for me; this for this.

The boundless vistas your love gave my heart

can be reached but by joyous chords, wrapt scales

which issue from the Muses and all Art,

into mens' hearts and souls, giving them wings.

Thus God is closer to us; His will brings

Love's touch and lift upon its bouyant sails.
