Listening to every heart

The Soul of a Poet

Mayhap it shall come to me, 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 o’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 an 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

Maybe for me the life of a trouvère
and to pen with Parnassian flair
thus how to capture one poet’s glance,
to pen by chance an Elysian dance

To seize the heart of one who would pen,
the poet, the bard, a muse, 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

As I was reading, I thought I had seen this before. Still not sure if I did or not but I do indeed love it Kari.

Words don't flow any smoother than these.  Well done!  KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

gotta love those poetic souls
adding color to the still life
of even the most wintery morning

Sunshines,
=======================================
To seize the heart of one who would pen,
the poet, the bard, a muse, 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
=======================================

And you dear girl are entitled to both your wishes and your dreams. I like feel of the ache in this piece. That die-hard romantic determination always gets me in the end. Peace and hugs,

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
