The Author of Forever's Serenade

When the author of forever sang 
his serenade,
‘twas longing in a virgin’s heart,
the strings he played.
So liltingly and stirringly 
did words cascade,
they conjured scent of rose bouquets
in serenade.

Of everlasting love he crooned
in serenade.
Bliss never is inopportune.
His lure was laid.
As sweet refrains flowed through her veins,
the vow he made
was happiness without an end
in serenade.

Upon the troubadour  who sang
the serenade,
she smiled, led him by the hand
to grassy glade.
And there beneath a blushing sky,
beguiled maid
succumbed with heady soul that rang
with serenade.

The author of forever, who 
croons serenades,
woos the maids, then into the
horizon fades.
His lyrics penned are fiction; he’ll
be not delayed
from moving on, oh vagrant bard
of serenade.

Andrea, "Of everlasting love he crooned ~ in serenade. ~~ Bliss never is inopportune. ~ His lure was laid." If that isn't poetry I don't want to know what is. A Fave. -Richard

Beautifully written and well expressed with great imagery this should be a winner. Love the emotion here. The tale of a lady wooed, won and cast aside. An old but not forgotten song. Well done. God Bless, JB

What a fraud he was Andrea, he serenades you, woos you and then leaves you moving onto another conquest, there are most unfortunately people like this lurking around. I love, love this poem and hope it gets POTD. Blessings and hugs Jennifer.

Fine writing, as always, Andrea. I enjoyed the "vagrant bard of serenade." He sings so convincingly and, then, must move on!
