Mortal Destiny

We are mere mortals with an uncertain destiny
at the mercy of time and of fates that be
but dearest, I will remain forever true to thee
For it's you I will love, I avow this faithfully

I will hold you close unto my soft breast
press my warm lips to yours upon behest
croon thee to slumber when in need of rest
bathe you in the ocean's waves as they crest

Though death may blazon to me in the night
shackled, we shall remain in chains held tight
never will I be enticed away from your sight
nor will a grave ever become our dividing blight

No reaper's scythe shall keep you from me
from this heart of mine, you will never be free
as rooted fast in the Earth's richest soil, a tree
our hearts will be entwined for all eternity

Quoth Theraven Date: 12/28/2021 11:42:00 PM Lin, Your poem arouses the mortal in me. You have a way.., perhaps should say, you know the way. The way to find that crease that exists in all hearts. -Richard Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 12/29/2021 3:23:00 AM Richard, your comments are always endearing. Sometimes the creases created by love are unfolded, leaving a rift, a scar, a pain. Thank you for your insight.

John Gondolf Date: 12/27/2021 6:53:00 AM Such deep emotions of longing to be together, though you sound a bit clingy today, ;) Nicely written, Lin, I enjoyed the read. Hugs, John Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 12/29/2021 3:21:00 AM no worries John Gondolf Date: 12/27/2021 8:48:00 AM My apology, guys, I said this in jest. Mark Koplin Date: 12/27/2021 8:22:00 AM Clingy John? Isn't that kind of a disrespectful thing to say to her? Lin Lane Date: 12/27/2021 7:01:00 AM I have never been clingy, John. This is an edit from something I wrote 5 years ago. Thanks for commenting.
