Couplets,
Poets Tribute Series, fifth poet, Percy Bysshe Shelly
( Pour l'amour, on peut parcourir les flammes les plus chaudes de l'enfer. )
Note (1): This is the sixth poem I've written to honor Shelly.
All six were done in different poetry forms/styles, I judged
four of them to not be good enough and thus discarded them.
Of the five poets honored in this poets tribute series,
Shelly is by far the most difficult one for me to write to
honor. This is the shortest of the 6 poems I've composed
but I think is the best one of the two chosen to represent
my overall views, considerations and admiration of the
magnificent poet- Percy Bysshe Shelly.
~~ ~~ ~~
Note (2).: Friends, I began this five poets tribute series
very shortly after ending my first tribute series... A
short break was needed because I had serious health issues
and needed to rethink how to continue this series.
Especially, I needed to decide which poets to write more
dedications to and also plan on which great, but lesser
known poets shall be in my next five poets series.
(1.)
We Were So Blessed, When Our Love Was New
Nevermore softest touch of loving hand
nevermore, will we together stand!
Forevermore, our sad souls shall deny
forevermore, lost halls echo our cry!
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was new.
Resplendent, were nights of our hot fervor
Alas! Found was a doomed endeavor!
Dare we blame Fate or dim light of pale moon
Or passion's depths entered far too soon?
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was new.
Nay! Such was burning of flames searing hot
blasting love like a massive cannon shot!
A wound opened, that blood could flow
crimson path creating, a way to go!
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was new.
Nevermore waking morns, your face to see
nevermore that soft caress touching me!
O'hand of grief, release that crushing hold
forevermore, give back sweet love we sold!
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was new.
Resplendent, were trysts under bright moonlight
Alas! In hot embrace we left true sight!
Did Fate, romantic fever wash away
Or simply set price we both had to pay?
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was new.
Nay! Moon shadows whispered, it was greed
your huge demands, worship you both so need!
All was true love, 'tis fault of you and I
we can see, we once had, pie in the sky!
You were my angel, I your lover true.
We were so blessed, when our love was new.

Rhyme, ( Treasure Once Found, From Youth, A Lover Sweetly Missed )
Poets Tribute Series, fifth poet, Percy Bysshe Shelly
( Un espoir, une prière, que Père Time me permette de réaliser ce rêve.)
(2.)
Within Faith, Such Magnificent Dream Lives
God: Can not thy merciful hand stop
flow of tears from her weeping eyes,
Will thy merciful heart into life shine
rays, into her beautiful sky?
Grant thee, this new morn a majestic gift
of true Love, needed Light it brings,
Can not thy heavenly paradise send
Love to her as thy angels sing?
Plead I, this request born of truest Love
as my soul bleeds deeply for her,
Within faith, such magnificent dream lives
whilst this beating heart now so stirs.
