For Thy Precious Love
Am I not a dimly lit candle?
Left without such handle...to bare the winter cometh,
Arise and let thy spirit conjugate...from those who magistrate,
And take thee to thy plummet
Alas” if she had affections and warm youthful blood”...and no such fears,
For my love for thee would not be stranded but afloat in thy flood...of tears,
Am I not a formless form? A mindless matter not complete,
Only but to chatter thy name in such howling heat,
Such delusions of thy mind...that many feign to see,
O, illusions of the blind...saddened shadows of what shall be
Am I not amongst desolate dreams? Where such screams dwell
Prayers for the above...
A wounded wasted will...for I would indiscreetly kill,
For thy precious Love...

In the style of my favorite poet - Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: The Seeker
A short Soliloquy...inspired by the one and only Mr William Shakespeare
The phrase ” if she had affections and warm youthful blood” is taken from one of his Soliloquy's in "Romeo & Juliet" Act 2 Scene 5...I have incorporated it in mine...hopefully, old Shake won't mind lol
