Out in the cold Dec. 2, 2012

  

I fear I will not hear that voice again, even in harsh refrain, a silence so astounding it deafens me, this plant I once saw as a rose (with all this thorns), now seems a weed I dare not pluck, having no other to take its place; even if its scent is sour rather than sweet, I know thee are still fair, most of all in my thoughts, and so the fault need be with me, a faulty gender who has turned perfection into something spoiled, how much service I would render thee if I could, if then would let me, to rejoin what once was, happiness, though I know this is not possible and so what joy I take from thee is all in my mind and dreams, what satisfaction I must generation for myself, even tough it is you that will always inspire it. I know a warm heart beats within thee, inside thy breast, only it does not beat for me, and that from thee I might generation a million unspoiled pleasures, should chance allows it while in reality I am out in the more desolate, desperate and cold, as if in a winter rain that withers all it touches rather than makes things grow.
