Come Slowly

[You'reasian]

Come Slowly

 

by Emily Dickinson

 

 

Come slowly, Eden

Lips unused to thee.

Bashful, sip thy jasmines,

As the fainting bee,

Reaching late his flower,

Round her chamber hums,

Counts his nectars -alights,

And is lost in balms!

[You'reasian]

[Geishawhelk]

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

 

William Shakespeare.

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it(anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)

i want no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

If I Could

 

If I could, I'd be your knight.

Dressed in armor shining bright.

Every enemy and foe I would fight.

If I could, I'd be your knight.

 

If I could, I'd be your star.

To bring you home no matter how far.

My love I'd shine upon you wherever you are.

If I could, I'd be your star.

 

If I could, I'd be your song.

To set your world right when its wrong.

A smile to your lips I'd bring all day long.

If I could, I'd be your song.

 

If I could, I'd be your love.

Sending your heart to flight like a dove.

I'd set your desires free like the stars above.

If I could, I'd be your love.

 

Only if I could.
