Poem
*********************************** The Poet, The Pen, The Solemn Prayer, ("In Tribute To Edgar Allan Poe's, Lenore") He wrote and wrote tho' so very tired and weary in his weeping heart lurked many romantic quotes, such that set eyes to saddest glaze, growing teary from dreams and memory that sent old sails afloat ink cast to drive away sad-life once so dreary. Fervent hope, prayer would and could set a new score. Gift salvation, if heartbreak, divine help implores. Through windows paper gleamed, starlight onto white bled to the poet, alone on a midnight crusade, in dreaming soul, he and she were there and then wed together sworn to a future life to be made on heaven's shores, nights spent in their honeymoon bed. Fervent hope, prayer would and could set a new score. Gift salvation, if heartbreak, divine help implores. Now the sky grew dark, reality took its bite yes, turbulent misery- its blackest cloak threw, evil world's dark had its way, sent its greatest blight and her soul into its afterlife's abyss drew weeping poet woke to sorrow's depths and death's plight. Fervent hope, prayer would and could set a new score. Gift salvation, if heartbreak, divine help implores. Love's sweetness the poet remembered from before, with pages wet, pen set about inking pleading words through past romantic love scenes his memory tore praising beauty of life, hope, singing of songbirds begging for life again with his love, his "Lenore". Fervent hope, prayer would and could set a new score. Gift salvation, if heartbreak, divine help implores. As moonlight onto paper cast radiant light and hope its greatest golden promise did so pour all her kisses, her touch and so very much more the poet wept as he, his deepest prayers did write of beauty, love, and a new life with his "Lenore". Fervent hope, prayer would and could set a new score. Gift salvation, if heartbreak, divine help implores. With ink dried, he remembering oaths they both swore as morn sang to dawn, there crossing dew-wetted grass as if on a cloud floating from another shore a life reborn, beauty given another pass came the poet's answer, his beloved "Lenore". Fervent hope, prayer would and did set a new score. Salvation, the poet did- divine help implore. Robert J. Lindley, 10-13-2020 Rhyme, ( And In Death Her Youth And Her Beauty Vanished ) (1.) Note- This a heavy-handed rewrite of an old poem that I first wrote, back in 1979.. (2.) Note- Reference, Poe's poem, "Lenore"- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenore_(poem)
