Listening to every heart

To My Love

Mine sweetest heart ~
thy recent supplication
was not designed to cause
me lament, nor spill acrid tears, I know…

why does thou not
believe in thy fortune?

nay, question not thy father's
commands…

thou knowest I am to be yours
~ freely ~
but thine love is akin to
Sol
which belongs safe in the firmament

nay, thou should not seek me
for I shall come, and go ~
freely ~
I shall give thee rest between thy daily
caressings
with always this, mine promise, O love,
of quick return…

no reason can I give thee
for this, thy gift of heart
only to know that
we are to embrace these gifts ~
as our fathers knew from
the Wizard's own spoken words
this plan of unity!

What now! Woulds't thou turn
away from thy Wizard's plan? Nay,
my love, my liege, my lord…
nay…

not for us to question the powers
that have guided the stars
or that blow the wind ~
not for us to question the rise of
surf, nor to count the stars
in the firmament in Cimmerian night

for this cannot be done ~

to accept,
and accept in fine accord
the gift of thy fathers
for I shall and will come to thee
in certitude of thy desires

for cans't thou descry what
should be
e'en though 'tis said
dreams might not come to thee

nay, my love
this maiden is naught thy dream
but thy reality
if thee should covet this largess

and be thee this, my firmament,
in which I may rise, and shine
in thy countenance,
only to rest in thy soul….

I shall see thee
on the morrow
thee shall knoweth me
by the lightsome come
from mine eyes

to knoweth for once, and by God
that this blessing is yours.

Now, my love of heart,
I bid thee adieu,
till the morrow of our feasting day
when, wedded as one
united by bond
thou shall know me
as e'en thy might explore the
beat of thy heart
or take a breath to exist
thou shall know me.

Till the morrow….
thy eternity awaits….

Love this olde style poetry, Karilea. It gives you a chance to express yourself in a much warmer and clearer heartfelt way I think. The last two line were very effectively done.

Your words spark a certain flame of poetic creativity.
This is filled with so much energy, and so well written.
Enjoyed the read.

I have read this beauty more than once and you really made me feel the ambiance of a love lived centuries ago. I tiptoed on the fragile tender ground of a secret passion expressed in words to accompany a lifetime and beyond.

Excellent.

Very, very beautiful, Karilea, but . . . you wrote this in 1601??? Giggles, I think you meant - in fact, I know you meant - 2001!

And to everyone, I'm so glad you've enjoyed the journey.

Giggles, Karilea. It makes it REALLY relevant, lol, except that your photo belies the fact that you are 411 years old!

Read this again, about the 4th time since it was posted, and still find it just as beautiful...

Was surprised I hadn't commented on it yet . . . though I do read a lot and just don't have the time to read & comment on as many.
