An unknown, to me. Aussie poetess. A gift from a friend who is no more (he didn’t did, he’s just cut out of my life). 1.2-4.5⭐️, varies.

apokochito: When day is over
I climb up the stair,
Take off my dark dress,
Pull down my hair,
Open my window
And look at the stars.
Then my heart breaks through
These prison bars
Of space and darkness
And finds what is true,
Up past the stars where
I'm one with you.
Lesbia Harford
CailinCeltic: But when I hear the Angelus,I say
A Latin prayer
Hoping the dim incanted words may shine
Some way,somewhere.
Words and a will may work upon my mind
Till ethics turn
To that transcendent mystic love with which
The Seraphim burn.
I Am No Mystic -- Lesbia Harford
disabelmeji: When day is over
I climb up the stair,
Take off my dark dress,
Pull down my hair,
Open my window
And look at the stars.
Then my heart breaks through
These prison bars
Of space and darkness
And finds what is true,
Up past the stars where
I'm one with you.
- Lesbia Harford.

Rainahp_: When day is over
I climb up the stair,
Take off my dark dress,
Pull down my hair,
Open my window
And look at the stars.
Then my heart breaks through
These prison bars
Of space and darkness
And finds what is true,
Up past the stars where
I'm one with you. (Lesbia harford)

An arrowy pair
In secret - white and black and dark and fair.

O you dear trees, you have learned so much of beauty,
You must have studied this only the ages long,
Men have thought of God and laughter and duty
And of love. And song.
But you dear tree...

CailinCeltic: Would that I were Sappho,
Greece my, land,not this!
There the noblest women,
When they loved,would kiss.

CailinCeltic: Meaning must lie,
Some beauty surely dwell
In the fierce depths and innermost pits of hell.
Yet still I seek,
Month after month in vain,
Meaning and beauty in recurrent pain.

GSilentio: "What were the good of stars if none looked on them
But mariners, astronomers and such!
The sun and moon and stars were made for lovers.
I know that much."

I'd hasten to you
Where the waters flow
In among the shadows and the dreams we know

CailinCeltic: I have two wings
To raise me to the skies
Withouten these
My soul could never rise
My shining friends
All white and gold are ye
Who make my soul
A winged victory.

It has no power to change our lives
Yet still our constant hearts rejoice
Because the past survives.
