Chosen One

 

 

 

 

Look at me across the sea, for I go radiant, look at me across the night through which I sail, and sea and night are those eyes of yours. I have not left you when I go away.

-Pablo Neruda The Captain's Verses

The Kidnapping of Kitty

"I may have lost contact with reality for a second or two"

- Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov

Manifesto

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my dear

I fear no fate

(for you are my fate, my sweet)

I want no world

 (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
