Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

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 December 28, 2021 at 11:42 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 Lin Lane December 29, 2021 at 3:23 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 December 27, 2021 at 6:53 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 Lin Lane December 29, 2021 at 3:21 AM no worries John Gondolf December 27, 2021 at 8:48 AM My apology, guys, I said this in jest. Mark Koplin December 27, 2021 at 8:22 AM Clingy John?
