A Farewell

A Farewell

Flow down,cold rivulet,to the sea,
Thy tribute wave deliver:
No more by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
Flow, softly flow,by lawn and lea,
A rivulet then a river:
No where by thee my steps shall be
for ever and for ever.
But here will sigh thine alder tree
And here thine aspen shiver;
And here by thee will hum the bee,
For ever and for ever.
A thousand suns will stream on thee,
A thousand moons will quiver;
But not by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
-Tennyson

Break,break,break

Break,break,break On thy cold gray stones,O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter Tha thoughs that arise in me. O,well for the fisherman's boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O,well for the sailor lad, That he sings in  his boat on the boy! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of vanish hand, And the sound of a voice that is still; Break,break,break At the foot of thy crags,O sea! But the tender grace of a day that is  dead Will never come back to me. -Tennyson

Marisol Lozano Poetry Pg.1 It's a shame A tragedy really An Artist's state An Artist The one who sees beyond the seven seas The one who distinguishes between rationality and irrationality but only to conflict themselves with the gravitational pull of emotion vs presence.

By captivating an emotion unknown to the naked eye At the same time criticized harshly by others who are pin pointing technicalities It's a shame A tragedy really An Artist The one who sees  beyond the seven seas And wants nothing more but to please And ease the ache from society's burden While it is encouraged to think outside the box This practically is forbidden It's just an expression whose only job is to mock And play with your mind Until you do mind And question the point From the start to the end point When all of those miles traveled seem to accumulate just

In memoriam,Go sleep I give my powers away

In memorim ,Go sleep I give my powers away To sleep I give my powers away, My will is bondsman to the dark; I sit within a hemless bark, And my heart l muse and say, O heart,how fares it with thee now, That I thou should fail from the desire, Who scarcely derest to imagine, What makes he beat so low, Something it is which thou houst lost, Some pleasure from thine early gelrs, Break thou deep vase of chilling leys That grief hath shaken into frost, Such clouds of nameless trouble cross All night below the darkened eyes. with morning wakes the will,and cries thou shalth, not be the fall of loss.  -Tennyson
