BEAUTY BOUND

The reasons lie wherein some mysterious future path
Wherein our thoughts will come to bask
In that sun that light of some far distant path
Beyond night and day wherein a way
May find a ghost of mind to play
A game of wit a game of will that sits on yonder window sill
Of eyes of light that have no mind
Entwined in time of air and light
Beyond the fires burning bright

You may say a golden will of that peculiar window sill:
Eyes of light, ears of mind soul of mine
Be beauty bound
To heavens of sky and earth till this I find

I rest not will of need nor want
Till mercy be my silken petticoat
Of dark desire, of mercy kind until I find this life of mine
Of you , of me, of love, of hate, of riches of another state

I come to bear on that mysterious state
that others cannot reiterate
Eyes of light, ears of mind, soul of mine
Be beauty bound.

You may say a golden will that sits on yonder window sill
Be beauty bound
