I Gave Myself To Him

I gave myself to him

And took himself for pay

The solemn contract of a Life

Was ratified this way

The value might disappoint

Myself a poorer prove

Than this my purchaser suspect

The daily own of love

Depreciates the sight

But 'till the merchant buy

Still fabled, in the isles of spice

The subtle cargoes lie

At least, "'tis mutual risk"

Some found it mutual gain

Sweet debt of life - each night to owe

Insolvent every noon

By: Emily Dickinson

Loving You From Afar

If only for an instant

I could see your beautiful face

It would fill my empty spirit

With wondrous life and grace

As I watch and you unknowing

I love you from afar

I can see your face is glowing

Underneath the brightest star

In a great majestic palace

Of "forever" do I wait

And not once feeling callous

To the outcome of my fate

Forever will I want you

And forever you will be

A memory of something true

That wasn't meant for me

I'll see you standing there

And want you standing here

But always loving from afar

And never very near
