Listening to every heart

The Soul of a Poet

Mayhap it shall come, in lightest gay,
the heart of a bard to induce my say,
through tales of old, of other days,
a recitation may come this way.

Perchance an elegy I shall write
the loss of dear ones numerous
my lament and grief, both day and night,
‘tho I shan't write e’er the loss of us.

To honor Theocritus I would pen
an idyllic scene to suit the when
that life was pure and fine of flair,
and I would give it a pastoral air.

If to be a lyrist of lyre and pen
would I gain your heart, and then
would you sing fine songs with me
and join in absolute harmony.

Or in silence of a moment, to muse,
and then to be so joyfully enthused
by the promise of your words to bring
a song to my heart, that we might sing.

Perchance for me, life of a trouvère
such to pen with Parnassian flair
thus how to capture one poet’s glance,
to ink by chance an Elysian dance.

To seize the heart of one who would pen,
poet, bard, a muse, or to spend
a night, a day, to master the write,
this my wish, and my dream held tight.

For the soul of a poet, I would endure
that the heart of a soul I would ensure

Ah yes....the heart and soul of one who pens..
to capture one of those is to capture a true romanic indeed.
Beautiful write dear lady~Happy Valentine's Day.
