I Will Languish

My heart has these many dwellings such dead cold cautionary tales long disregarded and condemned. And then there is this secret palace eclipsing all true loves desolation where deep resides your essence. A rapture of all your many graces this mansion of your many riches this residence of many memories. And then there is your portrait it hangs formidably in the great hall duchess over all these dominions. Oh how grand is this stellar view how lovely in its awesome repose mute witness to all my sad despair. My heart has these many dwellings but to only one loving abode do I go to one haven where I will always be. Portrait of all my heart’s affections my desperate insanity’s sweet relief where I will yet languish evermore. Your glance follows my every step as smoky embers hotly choke me as I tend to sorrow’s dying flames. I die willingly over and over again. entombing myself so I may forever remain in these hallowed silent halls. (click on the pic to buy my poetry book!)

A fascinating poem, Rob. Perhaps, like me, you believe in reincarnation. While you speak of many "dwellings," there is a book called "Many Lives, Many Masters" that made me a believer. Very nice work here! Best wishes for joy and prosperity in 2021~ Hugs, Carolyn

Beautiful poem and well done for printing it in book form. Very difficult and very expensive to import it to Malta. ~~
