Lost Love Divined

Young lass,
young lad
What aileth thee?

Come hither,
come near
Let me have a query

Perchance I may so then divine
what troubleth thee,
what torments thy mind

Aaah, yes ... ooh no!
I see where the discomfort within ye dwell
It is your heart that is so impaled

The blood of vigor has been a-flow
Thy spirit is pale,
has lost its glow

The voice that beckons,
thus make thy passions move
Tis' no longer heard,
thus thy soul's not soothed

O where,
O where
lies thy remedy?

Be gone despair
Cast afar yonder
all thy bane misery

For listen now,
for listen well
Love's fortune, I do foretell

Twas lost is found,
twas fled is bound
No more sick of heart is thine

A face unknown
has forwith been shown
to be lost love divined

Alexis Y. Date: 11/16/2016 2:27:00 AM Hi Freddie, I knew you were a versatile writer. But I'm blown away by this piece. It has a old school (Shakespearian) vibe to it. I enjoyed every line and every word. The young lad needed an old wise man to school him on matters of the heart. Well done. A Big seven and a fav:-) Alexis Login to Reply

Lin Lane Date: 10/17/2016 8:10:00 AM I don't spend much time in the soup any longer. I grew weary of the petty arguing and childish behavior of many, but I do sometimes visit the writes of friends and occasionally post one of my own. This one you've offered is terrific and yet no one even took the time to leave you a comment, while poets who are better known, not a better poet, gets kudos for blah blah blah. I'll read you, Freddie, because you have something worthy of reading. Login to Reply Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/21/2016 7:16:00 PM I am so honored and humbled by this post, Lin. I truly don't know how to express my gratitude for your gracious words. This is one of personal fave, I see others have read it, but didn't comment. Only special few will this appeal to, like you. Ty for reading it. Much love to you, dear lady.
