A Celtic Dream

CELTIC DREAM
This land, as old as emerald's green
so delicate, a jewel serene
was hers and mine, a world at rest
from life that played out not at best,
seclusion from, "What do you mean?"

All things were understood in trust,
in love we lived, as if we must
forget about our times alone,
retreiving not the sword from stone,
and there we let it stay to rust.

No shining knights were there to see
nor axes carving destiny,
no blood would flow onto this land
except that God would have it planned,
from Dunloe Gap out to the sea.

All was too well, my love for her,
and she for me, be as it were,
and life, our greatest omnibus,
turned out to be the love of us,
and so in love is how we were.

Everything you write turns out "very" good. I love the way you say things backwards. You are well versed in everything the rest of us are not. I would love to see you write a romantic poem that is thrilling and leaves one stunned at the unsuspected ending with a title that attracts all.... "Don't Call Me Friend" (you can't throw this together and be VeeBdosa) you must think about it...Do not (ever) write a description prior to your poetry..not necessary and a turn off..

ThanQ Judy, just attempting to say the same old things but in a new or different way. This time it turned out really good
