5414 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 © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

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 a poet who cares |
