True

I rather prefer the 
scarce
yet
simple and faint 
whispers 
where the
quiet 
reaches 
the quell
as the
still in the storm 
rises  
till the rains 
booned  
befall
downward 
only to stain
each of every argument born  
hearts there 
now bared 
complain not
and
would never quell
this
that
nor Any 
nightingales 
sound 
nay 
Even wing I say
Yet
do tell
Miss daylight 
to ponder 
her path well
until the end of the oceans crest
bequeath her to sing
hover now
Miss cloud
o’er the line 
which 
ne’r were to be crossed
by sight 
nor lean 
nor light
beamed
ne’r any other cost
under said bridge
we two sailed
hearts bared and sore
singed and worn
whilst
the rings of loss
tarred once more
those reckless
hearts of men
were the
to be
drowned 
if ffor not
their
own 
separate tears
