May Midnight Dark Devour This Cursed Threnody

May midnight dark devour this cursed threnody
Sweet dreams, felled on "cusp of victory"
Youthful wonderment through the heavens flew
Alas! Destined was the loss of you!

Cries in the dark, bevy of weeping moans.
Hath frozen this heart into hardest stone!

May Time into the darkest abyss cast
These savage sorrows- horrors of the past
And dawn, with its light and soft, soothing breath
Relieve this lost soul before "hour of death"!

Cries in the dark, bevy of weeping moans.
Hath frozen this heart into hardest stone!

May life allow mercy of this sad plea
Gift desire to kindly remember me
As I once stood, not now this dying heap
And perhaps a few falling tears then weep!

Cries in the dark, bevy of weeping moans.
Hath frozen this heart into hardest stone!

May this deep sorrow not destroy life's all
As my heart of hearts, I answer love's call
The whispering wind - this love carry swift
My last words-  my love of her, my last gift!

Cries in the dark, bevy of weeping moans.
Hath frozen this heart into hardest stone!

Rhyme, dark- (  A loss, a lament- a weeping sorrow )

Be Steadfast,  Stand  To Heart And Soul Expose

From within the soul it illuminates
Filling eager heart, active mind aglow
Ink soaked paper it penetrates
Oft soft as the beauty of falling snow.

Poetry born from heart and soul of man.
Look, ponder deep, splash it out if you can!

Blessing, a treasure,  from cradle of Art
Allow your heart its sweetest of release
Write, feel, express, dare - grab a pen and start
Please do, join in and never ever cease.

Poetry born from heart and soul of man.
Look, ponder deep, splash it out if you can!

Wake to a new dawn,  rise to dare to write
Beauty lies waiting to be revealed
Cast dancing verses- set out to delight
From soul's vaults compose poems and be thrilled

Poetry born from heart and soul of man.
Look, ponder deep, splash it out if you can!

From within the soul it illuminates
Filling eager heart, active mind aglow
Ink soaked paper it penetrates
Oft soft as the beauty of falling snow.

Poetry born from heart and soul of man.
Look, ponder deep, splash it out if you can!

Rhyme,

Note: 1
Wake unto a new dawn a blessing true
Let out into this world,  deep thoughts in you
With fortitude and zeal, paper and pen
Give us your very best, write, write- begin
You may just feel much better if you do.

Early this morn my son asked me-- Dad why do you write poetry?
I told him , ok son-- I will write my answer as a poem.
Then you read it and tell me if you agree it merits as an answer
and then express your true thoughts on my answer and my time
I spend doing that. He gave only very positive replies on both counts.
Today started out good and then just got so much better.
