Ten Years Had Raced Into Oblivion's Cup Second Poets Tribute Series, Samuel Taylor Coleridge Chained am I, to desolation's huge anchor on its long black ship, cargo of hate and rancor yet in spirit oft I roamed blue skies above and in my fantastic dreams, found I my true love! Such was a balm that fled when heartache renewed Could return only when young life was reviewed! Alas! At night stars dimmed and evil winds blew midnight hour, I was served bones I could not chew and a foul drink of bitter regrets and lying as Fate had set me here, this ship of slow dying! Such was a dark curse, uttered by her deep hate For she turned to darkness to then alter my Fate! Ten years had raced into oblivion's cup into darkest seas we went, I never gave up tho' soul had been impaled by poisonous blades I clung to that romantic love that never fades! Such as the poets of old sang and wrote about Crying to the heavens, chorus of mighty shouts! Chained was I, to desolation's huge anchor on its long black ship, cargo of hate and rancor yet in spirit oft I roamed blue skies above and in my fantastic dreams, found I my true love! Such was a balm that fled when heartache renewed Could return only when young life was reviewed! Robert J. Lindley, 11-10-2019 Rhyme, ( With imagination, laced in darkness, that life hath a poet shown ) Inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner First poet- poem: of the Second series of poet's tribute poems.
