Notes About The Poem

Take Me

Away
From the fray
Tear drops on me soul’s windows
Blood droplets from wounded displays

I, me, all of my being
Drowned with the pain of no longer believing
When hope has died, from those many famines
What pray tell is left to fathom?

Oceans deep
Mountains steep
Maidens only left to weep
While Knights make their daily keep

		Life
			gone
				far
					away

The seminar of the dead
We shall weep for those still away

		Love lost
		Lost lovers
		White doves
		Doves fly away


Hold hands with those in need
	please dont make them plead
		love is grand if you know is a seed
			Smile, for that’s a food that feeds


In the nights of long ago
In lands that hold tales that never let go
Let me rest there, and let me be
I lost my love, let me hold onto sanity

Tis a rose, tis a thorn
The romantic always left forlorn

Arthur, the scenario to present in this compelling verse is gripping. Many beautiful lines and my favorite it "I lost my love, let me hold onto sanity.Some people seem able to avoid the thorns. A very touching, sensitive poem. Hugs, Carolyn
