Dearest heart
has thou not been broken
a thousand times
by the outrageous arrows
of lost love?

How then
do you rise like the Phoenix
from ashes of despair ?
To live again
and perchance die
again

Oh if for only the momentary chance
of eternal bliss
thus makes all men blind
in her humbling presence

With but a kiss she signs the deed
to my fool heart
to will as she please

As I, lion of men
melt with another sweet kiss
from the divine creature
that would be my queen

Brad - this is a poem in itself:

With but a kiss she signs the deed
to my fool heart
to will as she please

As I, lion of men
melt with another sweet kiss
from the divine creature
that would be my queen

amazing  xxoo

Even though "....otrageous arrows of lost love" really hurt, every new chance to melt again is joyously taken... To love is to risk.
Beautiful write.
Love, Margherita

Your poetry not only inspires me, but it interests me to hear the male perspective.
So often portrayed as aloof...
Far from it. Very well done. TD
