Desire


Here is poem of the heart for Valentine Day.
Desire
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
There are many heart shaped beads that would make unique Valentine Day gifts at Beadshaper





Where true Love burns
Desire is Love's pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart.

Evening Song


.
Evening Song
by Sidney Lanier (1842 -1881)
You can find the handcrafted lampwork glass bead named after this poem at Beadshaper
.


Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea;
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands,
Ah! longer, longer we.
Now, in the sea's red vintage melts the sun
As Egypt's pearl dissolved in rosy wine
And Cleopatra-night drinks all- 'tis done,
Love, lay thine hand in mine.
Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven's heart,
Glimmer, ye waves, 'round else unlighted sands;
Oh night! divorce our sun and sky apart-
Never our lips, our hands

Song of Songs




From the Song of Songs
by King Solomon (970 - 928 BC)
You can find the handcrafted lampwork glass bead named after this poem at Beadshaper
.


The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:
for thy love is better than wine.
Because of the savor of thy good ointments
thy name is as ointment poured forth,
therefore do the virgins love thee.
