Ere The Roses Wilt from Our Days

Ere the roses wilt from our days,
Upon thy eyes once more I’d gaze,
In hopes I know the whole of you,
Fore whispers that I’d give tongue to.

This love we share’s a special thing,
Perfected by linguistic string,
Thou art the axis for my soul—
—North Star of my celestial pole.

O’ let mine eyes weep naught but joy,
For she whom I would vanquish Troy,
Yea Helen’s but a wannabe,
‘Tis but for thee that I’d bend knee.

I love you there’s no other truth,
For thou art my fountain of youth,
Within thy eyes love’s ever young,
And I’d not have our hymn unsung.

Gift me a kiss fore this ode’s done,
Darling thou art my beloved one.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

  Kevin, this is a wonderful ode to love!  I especially liked this verse:

This love we share’s a special thing,
Perfected by linguistic string,
Thou art the axis for my soul—
—North Star of my celestial pole.

if your words are meant for someone, she's lucky. that aside, this is another of your romantic arrows that i'm sure will pierce many a heart.

by each let this be heard,
some do it with a bitter look,
some with a flattering word"

This is simply devine. Exquisite.  It pierced my heart with its beauty - well done.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
