My Love She'D Lent

~ MY LOVE SHE'D LENT ~ I followed her where'er she went Lured onward by her fragrant scent She clasped his hand, a handsome gent How could she know my love she'd lent I died one thousand deaths inside Choked back my tears with wounded pride How long such anguish could I bear My heart asunder to let tear The hour had come to make my move My love for her I had to prove Unsteady I, and quite unsure Just how to break the news to her -- My tongue was still despite I tried 'To ask her this: 'Please be my bride.' ~ Iambic Tetrameter ~ December 30, 2019

If you do not, you have already failed... ask ... believe... A wonderful poem... well written... your pen is sharp and the ink, full of imagery and colors, known and unknown, yet to be found in the edges of the lake near forever. Ann

I asked my wife: If my pen s so sharp, why am I so dull?! Hmm.... Thanks, Ann! HNY 2020

Gershon, All is well in your write now. Do you speak of love? The answer was always yes. “What is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.” – Victor Hugo

Gershon Wolf
Date: 12/31/2019 9:15:00 AM

Ah, the stars through his soul...the description of this fellow, I thought that the stars might have pass through his soles! :) gw
