Poems about head
Some Kiss It
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
and every time i speak for him
i should not fear the foe then
i only must not change so fair
i know it, by the numb look
lie between them now,
some touch it, and some kiss it
and put a flower on it
to any happy flower,
heaven to us, if true,
and would delight to see
anonymous delight to know
she'd pass for barehead short way off
perhaps i couldn't
If Just As Breath Is Narrow Loving
for arrogance of them
too wide for any night but heaven
as if for lull of sport
that was in the green
when earth cannot be had
till death is narrow loving
she'd pass for barehead short way off
if just as soon as breath is out
if love be just beyond
how long a day i could endure
Yet It Will Be This
you taught me fortitude of fate
he seek conviction, that be this
and yet it will be done
when once it has begun
when it was dark enough to do
the stars about my head i felt,
i like to see it lap the miles
i was the slightest in the house
an altered look about the hills
as even in the sky
the sky is low, the clouds are mean,
But Just Held Two, Nor Those It Was
afraid to trust the morn
to answer wherefore when he pass
it was announced to me
it just held two, nor those it held
as it has usual done
but just to look it in the eye
on the heads that started with us
but, looking back the first so seems
i keep it, staying at home
midnight good night! i hear them call,
though thine attention stop not on me
This Is Green
so he let me lead him in
so brave upon its little bed
the angels happening that way
tastes death the first to hand the sting
the color of the grave is green
this is my letter to the world
was like the other days
no dead, were ever carried down
from what would last till heads like mine
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
and would it feel as big
sweet, to have had them lost
yet she cannot speak,
To Eat Or Sleep
despair
then fit our vision to the dark
to show the sun the way
on the heads that started with us
without a thing to do
i did not dare to eat or sleep
for doubt, that i should know the sound
You Got Sleepy And You Got Sleepy
shook my strong trust
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i offered her no word
not like the gnat had i
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and perish but a bough between
go blossom for the bees i said
i will singing go
i that way worship thee,
the grave would hinder me,
a day when it was not,
but then his house is but a step
turn it, a little full in the face
death, the only one
does not so much as turn his head
For It Worked So
may seize upon his mind
when they let go the ignominy smiling
you almost pitied it you it worked so
so infinite when gone
too plummetless that it return
should reach the heart that wanted me
for it would split his heart, to know it
does not so much as turn his head
it was not death, for i stood up,
But Only On Me
pushed sudden thro' to his
and then the size of this "small" life
on so best a heart
so looked itself on me
but only on my forehead stopped
when it began, or if there were
that when i could not find it
perhaps he doesn't know the house
it near as i can guess
i only have it not tonight
i had not had but for yourself
was that she might
When I Could I Bear It In My
a darting fear a pomp a tear
to salute so fair a forehead
when i could take it in my hand
could i do else with mine?
and so i bear it big about
the sea is full i know it!
That Self Were Hell To Those Who Dare
joy to have merited the pain
that self were hell to me
to those who dare to try
and this one do not feel the same
nature is what we know
what word had they, for me?
from what would last till heads like mine
he never saw me in this life
until it showed too small
it will be summer eventually,
Parting Is All We Know Of Us
as should a face supposed the grave's
upon the forehead of a bust
by means of it in god's ear
nor will i, the little heart's ease
that but for love of us
parting is all we know of heaven,
and the sermon is never long,
he hurts a little, though
and wishes had he any
the soul has special times
never had a doubt
When Spades Had For Less
would'st thou seek so just say
when frightened home to thee i run
and push it with my fingers next
on the heads that started with us
and then it's time to strike my tent
we talk in careless and it toss
but once aslant
but when spades had done
were had for less
our souls saw just as well
Then No Me
that when their conscious fingers cease
on the heads that started with us
rejected be of her?
creation stopped for me
thee then no me
me prove it now whoever doubt
then look for me, be sure you say
could take it
If Those I Have Had Before,
it would hurt us were we awake
the angels happening that way
that you so late "consider" me
they cannot put away
to what, could we presume
that i have had before,
he did not know i saw;
if those i loved were lost
this heart that broke so long
she'd pass for barehead short way off
i meant to find her when i came
Just This Time, Some Perfect Year
'tis true that deity to stoop
and fear is like the one
for such, the angels go
if when the sun reveal,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
who put a head away
away from me
yet held my breath, the while
how just this time, some perfect year
she looks down just as often
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
the face i carry with me last
when i could take it in my hand
just as he spoke it from his hands
if he put away
Before Them Over Their Heads To Seek The
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
next to nothing for weight,
to seek the happy isles together,
to listen ere we dared to look,
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
Where They Sought Without Twice Thinking, Where
and where they sought without the sword
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
grim giving to do over for them both,
by leaving them to flourish, not for us,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
He Viewed Them Quizzically With Jerks Of Modern
he took him down below a cramping rafter,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
the more of right the more he loves;
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
the petal of the rose
the dead of the commissary
But Thought Has Need Of Course, Are A
but thought has need of no such things,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the graveyard draws the living still,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
you, of course, are a rose -
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
that that was the place to carry a heart
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and making the best of their way back to life
to induce the one snow on his head,
But In No Hush They String It, They
but in no hush they string it, they go past
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
spares to strike for the common good,
were not too much to pay for birth,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
and all their logic would fill my head,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
Among Bare Maple Boughs, And One Thing More
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
and eased his heavy breathing, but still slept,
expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
for still others they found,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they cannot mean to plant it, no
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
A Pebble Of Quartz? A Witching Wand,
he tried it at the eye-hold in the axe-head,
in summertime with a witching wand,
mrs, baptiste came in and rocked a chair
truth? a pebble of quartz? for once, then, something,
a narrow passage all the way around,
and question what of the night to be,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but the pure fate to which you go
it wouldn't do to be too hard on brad
the way we piled it, and let�s be the talk
it is because like men we look too near,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
from a twig's having lashed across it open,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
Free From The Frosty Window Veil
when the frosty window veil
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
will the special janizary
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
and taking formal position,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
That At Such A Time!
of daring should be still to dare,
one had to be versed in country things
there were enough things to be thought of then,
and see you pleased once more with words of mine?
of really never having meant to keep it,
think of it, talk like that at such a time!
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
Tell The Pure Fate To Hide In
around him to look after that make waste,
but the pure fate to which you go
and when i come to the garden ground,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
to hide in the world
and tell the stones, men hate to die
around him to look after that make waste,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
that wrought on him beside her in the night,
Mixed Ready To Fight For Me�that Held Me,
'first tell me what it was you thought you heard,'
man came to tell it what was wrong,
she leaves them bitten when she has to fly,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
back to the place from which she came
to induce the one snow on his head,
Be One Traveler, Long I Am, What
and be one traveler, long i stood
and shout from where i am, what is it?
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
and would feel if i wasn't all gone wrong,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
The Turn Of Eve
from having heard the daylong voice of eve
he arrives at the turn of the year,
and at the other end the microscope,
the headless aftermath,
With Doors That Are Slain
even the bravest that are slain
and have our fire and laugh and be afraid,�
coming and going all the time, they are,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
with the glittering things,
with mischievous, vagrant, seraphic look,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
For Flowers
that day she put our heads together,
he says that leaves are old and that for flowers
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he would put him onto the case,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
The Secret Sits In The Birds, Without The
with the royal heart of robert the bruce
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
without the birds, without the breeze,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
They Found A Way To Have You Come
and all their logic would fill my head,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
he might prefer to say to him disarmed,
they found a way to put a stop to it,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
Than I Could Do Like You,
i leaned on my head
than i can raise my voice or want to lift
i saved myself from going,
i almost think if i could do like you,
i doubted if i should ever come back,
word i had no one left but god,
A Pathless Wood
and followed it crying 'heart or death!'
'tis only to sit back and sway his head
his icicles along the wall to keep;
to white rest, and a place of rest
love and a question
and life is too much like a pathless wood
a narrow passage all the way around,
and thought of doing something to the shore
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
The Beady Spider, The Wind Out Of
the first tool i step on
if i was not to speak of it to you
and often they brought so much to say
i shall have less to say,
what had how long it takes a birch to rot
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
in one last look the way they must not go,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
where the boughs rain when it blows,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the awe passes wonder then,
I Don't Know!
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
i wonder about the trees,
it faltered, i could see it hesitate;
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i don't know where it's likely to go better,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
and see the way you lived, but i don't know!
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
and often they brought so much to say
there were enough things to be thought of then,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
The Wood;
and the body he wore
in all the country he did command
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
the measure of the little while
the fruited bough of the juniper
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
the tuft of flowers
the dead of the commissary
the headless aftermath,
the gathering of the souls for birth,
Like Locks Blown Forward In The Head In
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
and then come back to it and begin over,
to loose the resin and take it down
and where they sought without the sword
of ever coming to the place again
what but design of darkness to appall?
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
going the other way and they not seen it,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
there is none left to mourn thee in the fields,
nor is there wanting in the press
the head in the dark below
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
He Consigned To Stay,
the youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
he takes up life simply with the small tasks,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
what matter if we go clear to the west,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
that now it means to stay,
trying, i thought, to set it up on end,
Left No Trace But Stars And Weary,
with none among them that ever sings,
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
and where they sought without the sword
and weary, sought at noon with him the shade;
and set herself back where she, started from,
as she flings over and off down through the maples,
the white clouds over them on,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
Before The Hand!
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
unsaid between us, brother, and this remained
father and mother married, and mother came,
with those great careless wings,
and alter with age,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
to the dark and lament,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
Your Head So Much Concerned With What It
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
your head so much concerned with outer,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
to seek the happy isles together,
Nothing To Leave It To, Whether The
and cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
my breathing shakes the bluet like a breeze,
when leaning with my head again a flower
and my head sways to my shoulder
dimly to have made out my secret place,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to take him in, and might be willing to
next to nothing for weight,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to satisfy a lifelong curiosity
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
ever to grind to soil for grass,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
