Not every day is awful.
Write it on your heart
On a day
This land, although not my native land,
Girls get screwed.
Be near me when my light is low,
A Word is Dead
Memory, prophecy, and fantasy—
Here I came to the very edge 
The Doors
COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT
If today is not your day, 
GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may, 
Shrinking in a corner,
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
HOW 
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
The world is a beautiful place
The guilt you felt 
Queen of my tub, I merrily sing,
Another fresh new year is here . . .
In the spring of life, in the flower of youth, 
When a man is in love 
DEMON MATH
there is a place in the heart that
Every spring
The Day is Done
THE WEATHER OF LOVE
She is the force, that you end up
The door is cracked
A Pause of Thought
The day I became a writer
...feel the fierce way desire
-Desiderata-
As for life,
Sermon of the Mounts
To be evenminded 
At our age the imagination
ON THE DAY I DIE
When Great Trees Fall
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Storm Warnings
BLACK AND WHITE
A mother's love is like an island 
When there is noise and crowds, there is trouble; 
The Type
A land not mine, still
FORBIDDEN
The Garden
Look, the trees
This is what I am, I'll say, to leave this written
