Beholden to a Heart

22 May 2006


For this is the man
I once wanted to wed
As if love was lost
in hope of ways she said

To take, to give
beholden to a heart
Was this a man
or someone
to tear her apart

Words said,
words thought
Or was that love
to meet in caught

To take, to hold
who was he to shame
Not wanting neither to give
that man she was to wed
all in a forgotten name


“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
Romans 5: 5 KJV

This poem was composed within the restraints that I had to start with the opening line

As "For this is the man I once wanted to wed" was the last line of a poem,
under the ruling of the last line of a previous poem becoming the first line of my own poem
