"I Am Not Yours " by Sara Teasedale   I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, altho' I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snow-flake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light. Oh plunge me deep in love-put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.       Back to poetry page. Creations by Dawn
