Agape

One day thou wilt not be standing in my way when I shall,
Seize the moment to say how much I love thee; 
Life stretchest hope to the sincere and honest not to a rascal,
Whose only hope in saving his character is to flee.

Mine honourable soul doth asketh thy public acceptance for, 
Secluded feelings can never forge a noble troth;
Bring forth in thy mind the sweet alluring memories of lore,
Keep my unequalled agape, shun what is not worth.

Come hither my twinkling future and mine adored baroness, 
Good tidings address those whose hearts are ablaze;
Their nights a prolonged play of sumptuosity and madness,
Performing the art of love in its most luxurious ways. 

Hark men and women of all time and place, 
Love prevails if we didst take it as a grace.

Agape's heavenly symphony that fills with its melody the heart and soul of Man! Great poem! Excellent verse! PS: Agape, a Greek word that denotes the purity of love! This note is just for those that might not be familiar with Greek origin of the word!

A superb write in a language I just love to read, this is why I prefer my KJ Bible to a more update one. Your work is so deep and thought provoking. Thanks for stopping by my window and welcome to this honeypot called P-soup. God Bless. D.

It seems we share the same passions for the past era! Some things must be highly appreciated and preserved in these times of decay. Thank you for your warm welcome!

Linda, what you are feeling is the effect of the Elizabethan language. In a way, their meanings embedded sophistication embroidered with eloquent wordings. -- And for the toil thou putest in thy comment, Leaving to mine inferior post a rosy scent - Prithee, Accept my thanks to thee!

I enjoyed your poem Jad, I felt like I was stepping back in time. Agape love is the best kind and we do well to try and achieve it. Regrettably we humans have many limitations. In those limitations there is great beauty.

We are marching towards novel, eye-catching, yet artificial beauty with abnormal paces. This haste unbalances anyone. This kind hunger cannot be fed but through the eyes. And by doing so, we instantly kill all traces of spirituality!! Thank you for your comment!
