Tragic, When Innocence Was Lost And Love Fled (Youth, Dreams And Reality Series) poem number 1) Like lake June swans once so were she and I Passionate romance money cannot buy Coupled and in heart's fervor we stood Giving into our fever all we could She the flighted arrow, I the strong bow In our innocent youth fearing no blows Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes. O' deepest sorrows why were you thus cast Allowing joy to fade away so fast Had we not with truest hearts in love fled Together, spirit and soul therein wed Watching beauty of night's heavenly skies World's evils we gave no thought or replies Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes. How I now so grieve that ill-fated day In my epic misery bow to pray For sweet mercy and yet another shot To live forever in our moonlit spot Swearing to always refuse any goodbye Such dark reality firmly deny Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes. Like lake June swans once so were she and I Passionate romance money cannot buy Coupled and in heart's fervor we stood Giving into our fever all we could She the flighted arrow, I the strong bow In our innocent youth fearing no blows Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes. Robert J. Lindley, 9-12-2021 Romanticism, ( What Once Was, And Can Never Be Again ) Note- "Such sorrows of youth and the innocence that was our shield." "Talibus aerumnas iuvenum et innocens clypei" *** Tragic, When Innocence Was Lost And Love Fled (Youth, Dreams And Reality Series) poem number 2) Beauty waltzed in on my diamond dreams While I a young lad wading rushing streams There bright roses and lush gardens in bloom Bringing me back from the darkness and gloom How oft we wonder why happiness flees Despite our prayers, our sincerest pleas Yet tomorrow always comes, life moves on Where we find beauty in a simple stone. I wake from dreams and eager dawn I beg Give me back love and my young dancing legs For in this tired ole spirit hope still shines I see Nature's beauty smell scented pines Walk the ancient trails and rest a bit Thank God my bloodline gives me heart and grit Oft I wonder who now walks these old shoes As lonely builds its walls and sings its blues. Sun sets a glowing red, life welcomes soft night Such a soulful peace allows no dark fright In youth I found that time was not a friend For took away joy as happy days end And some nights radiant moon its rays hid Reminding, fairy tales are just for kids In those somber thoughts, her dear face appears And then in waiting heart love romance sears. Beauty waltzed in on my diamond dreams While I a young lad wading rushing streams There bright roses and lush gardens in bloom Bringing me back from the darkness and gloom How oft we wonder why happiness flees Despite our prayers, our sincerest pleas Yet tomorrow always comes, life moves on Where we find beauty in a simple stone. Robert J. Lindley, 9-12-2021 Romanticism, ( What Once Was, And Can Never Be Again ) Note- "I that hold hope as a long lost friend. Await its gifts"… "I. Qui spem tam diu perditam teneo amici. Exspecta eius dona."
