Love

Till love exhausts itself, longs

for the sleep of words -

my mistress' eyes -

to lie on a white sheet, at rest

in the language -

let me count the ways -

or shrink to a phrase like an epitaph -

come live with me -

or fall from its own high cloud as syllables

in a pool of verse -

one hour with thee.

Till love gives in and speaks

in the whisper of art -

dear heart,

how like you this? -

love's lips pursed to quotation marks

kissing a line -

look in thy heart

and write -

love's light fading, darkening,

black as ink on a page -

there is a garden

in her face.

- Carol Ann Duffy
