Youthful Longings

Vast dominions of gold sourced strains Behold bewitching Rebecca in virginal frame My idealistic notions in contemplation Desirously brought to mindful ease Such erstwhile longings bring conflagration In rejecting all barriers, I only seek to appease Pliant be to my entreaty Unknowingly you invited show Observe in me my honourable fealty In supplication I urgently press to know My marriage proposal sent in seeking Time encapsulated faithful vow Unrequited dream foretells on waking Your note, in receipt, a rejection now.

I merely thought that the ending of this poem was deftly seen between the lines. And although the ending was as I surmised -- a rejection -- it did not bother me because of the expert way it was handled.

Yea! Very good poetry. Love the play on words, and the ending maybe was projected, still, it was certainly written with class.
