I do not want. 
Monotony of flatness -  of an even plain. Let me

To A.L.[[?CT]]

A glorious, glamourous incident
Of sinqiness and fantasy and sun 
We found, and happiest of days we spent 
Shunning the thought of life when this was done.
But soon the end of this incident
Crept silently, and mutely in – just came –
And I knew then that I should be content
To view it thru my retrospect, a perfect picture in a frame.
But you, although you realized that all 
The singiness and carefreeness were o'er,
Knew that a love built on such fragile things would fall
Still hoped that we could yet find something more...

But all of that had passed –
This, now, is scarred and seamed.
A dream can never last,
Or stay the same re-dreamed...
