Love and Relationships poetry quotes

When we two parted
Pale grew thy cheek and cold, colder thy kiss

Walking Away

Walking away
Love is proved in the letting go

Loves Philosophy

She “looks my way/ Over the drifted stream”

Eden rock
Crossing is not as hard as you might think

Yellow Hair

Porphyria’s Lover
That moment she was mine, mine, fair and perfectly pure and good

Porphyria’s Lover
Made her smooth white shoulder bare

Follower

Follower
All I ever did was follow

Follower
Today it is my father who keeps stumbling

My thoughts do twine and bud about thee

Mother, any distance
Anchor. Kite

Mother, any distance
Space walk

Mother, any distance
I reach towards […] an endless sky

Neutral Tones
The sun was white

Neutral tones

Before you were mine
High-heeled red shoes, relics

Before you were mine
That glamorous love lasts where you sparkle and waltz and laugh

Our souls tap out messages across the icy miles

Climbing my grandfather
Feeling his heart, knowing the slow pulse of his good heart

The Farmer’s Bride
Turned the key upon her, fast

The farmer’s Bride
References to brown hair and small animals

Winter swans
We skirted the lake, silent and apart

Winter swans
Our hands […] swim the distance between us

Singh song
From di stool each night I say, is priceless baby
