Xerex, Coda: Here…
…will you find the first version as it had been penned originally so many decades ago. The dotted lines have been added to indicate whence the sonnets come:
O, my sweetest love,
Share thou with me
The sweet XerexWhich I do proclaim
As the nectar which
Returneth me toThee, my sweetest love.
Quiet my restless mind
With the still, sweetGrape which is the
Blood of lovers and
Of conquerers.
—————————
Such is the stuff
That would quiet my
Mind and my heartFor thee, and ease
Thy pain easily
With a pure flavor,And with little regret
From thyne Angels’ heart.
Remember thou, my loveThat even in this
Cruel
Earth there artThose elements which
Heal in their right
Proportions.
———————
Remember thou, my sweetest
Love, that many
Forms Are yieldedUp by the Fickle
Grape: The subjective
Grape yieldsUp poison and
Medicine for the
Soul.
———————–
As Baudelaire, my
Father, my twin,
My dearestPoet knew this drink was
Fine; so shall I
Proclaim: My sweetestLove, As my
Devoted, As my
Servant, As mySlave; bring thou
Me of the sweetest Xerex
Grape and IShall become returned
To that which
Thou most admireth.
————————–
But, that thou shouldst
Know: Once I have To
thine arms return’dThou shalt be my
Wine and my
crystal.
————————–
Thou shalt be
Mine Angel–superior
To all the grape isAble to be.
I shall thenceforth
Drink of thee,My love and I
Should never again want
For wine.
Much has in me been yielded up by that fine grape so many long years ago.
