For Thy Precious Love

Am I not a dimly lit candle? Left without such handle...to bare the winter cometh, Arise and let thy spirit conjugate...from those who magistrate, And take thee to thy plummet Alas” if she had affections and warm youthful blood”...and no such fears, For my love for thee would not be stranded but afloat in thy flood...of tears, Am I not a formless form? A mindless matter not complete, Only but to chatter thy name in such howling heat, Such delusions of thy mind...that many feign to see, O, illusions of the blind...saddened shadows of what shall be Am I not amongst desolate dreams? Where such screams dwell Prayers for the above... A wounded wasted will...for I would indiscreetly kill, For thy precious Love... Aug.15.2016 In the style of my favorite poet - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: The Seeker A short Soliloquy...inspired by the one and only Mr William Shakespeare The phrase ” if she had affections and warm youthful blood” is taken from one of his Soliloquy's in "Romeo & Juliet" Act 2 Scene 5...I have incorporated it in mine...hopefully, old Shake won't mind lol

We must change your name! I am totally impressed, John. I am certain Mr Shakespeare would smile and pat you on the back. Really enjoyed this Wing Man.

You'd get a standing ovation at the Globe for your soliloquy, my Warrior. Your internal rhymes are bloody perfection. "Am I not amongst desolate dreams? Where such screams dwell.." Willie Shake would be applauding you as well.

Thank you so my Lady...right now you are getting a one man standing ovation...I miss your stupendous comments, Lin...O,what is the Soup without Lin... Like love without a summer’s night... No birds a’ chirping in the early light... Like a wounded heart a panic attack... So bury the hatchet and thus come back...we miss you Lady Lin...god bless...^WW^
