I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Poem of the Week

TheMsLvh's picture
by TheMsLvh

Howling winds through winter trees
leaves let loose for flight
Night fell cold as the hour grew old
I am going home.

I am going home
to a love that waits
