Poems
THEME/S
Two are the mystic makers of earth's life.
Their passion is for ever and their joy
Is the breaking forth of the hidden truth of time.
But while the ages sing out of their lips
The eyes are lost beyond both life and love:
Like hierophants feeding a temple fire
With silent sweetnesses of sandalwood,
They offer the two rapturous bodies and breaths
To a single sun of omnipresent mind
That knows all by sheer sense of its own gold.
This glory keeps the lovers statue-pure;
An absolute hush in an eternal poise
Contains the keen creative ecstasy—
No hunger runs from face to shining face,
No lust quivers in the heart-revealing touch:
Here is not union of fragmented flesh
Nor strife to merge divided dreams: the. Alone
Magically quaffs the nectar of being twain!
Ever a shadowless identity
With no call even for tiniest flicker of a kiss,
These two have joined with lackless souls for a new
Burst of the deep self-light in which they are one.
