Poem Title:
Poem
So it was that tragedy, which lead me finally, Have another invasion, upon my lands-never, To guard my boundaries, and bolster my army, Let the pain in my heart, with cold fury- wither The petty palisades of wood, are now of stone, Upon ramparts are erected, many cannons strong, Mighty swords sharpened, arrow-heads honed, Wishing anger to sustain me, keep my vigil long Much has been done, and more has been sought, I promised to be mighty, not conquered futilely, Often I be dismal, when I stare down my moat, Need I be strong always, but eternally lonely? Thence once these lonesome times, I look at you, Saw a princess lovely, aloof and shy, Could such beauty hold, a heart pure and true? “No” I told myself, knowing full well I lie Every moment then, are filled with longing, For I knew you were special, a fragile innocence, Could my night watch finally, see it’s morning? But I won’t give up easy, what I built so far hence To harsh self-flagellation, this denial has turned, Fiercer heart-rending than, being left for a fool, More formidable even, than all the days I mourned, For rejection of affection, is now my first rule Behind my quiet hard eyes, I ask you fervently, Underneath my grim and dark façade, lies a question, Hoping against hope, you will hear this mute plea, Allow me once again, to breath Love’s desperation Hear this entreaty, asked in silent despondency, Words are not needed, Just feel my agony…… Could you be the Trojan horse, To capture surreptitiously my heart? Free me from this maddening curse, Shatter this misery to the tiniest parts
