and I’ll recall
* A swashbuckling space fantasy - this is a form I created called “treintados” I hope you enjoy it! *
~
AND I’LL RECALL ( treintados )
oh chant to me those ancient runes
brimmed lands lost long to ices
soft, sorrowed songs of gilded tombs
their freeze and ventured vices
those sainted souls that gods left doomed
drowned deep midst their devices
and I'll recall with tenderness
the sapphire skies of home ...
oh whisper me of petals crushed
with Spring's too-eager melting
the careful creep of hoarfrost hushed
by wise blooms' wint'ry welting
and bounties of a bosom, blushed
with May's weep sprightly pelting
and I'll recall with tenderness
the greening grass of home …
oh breathe a song upon the breeze
adventures plucked and dreamed
brave sailors sundered to the seas
grand galleons gold and gleamed
the tallest tales a fool could tease
from moons festooned and beamed
and I'll recall with tenderness
the golden shores of home
oh hearken, should the wind resound
with sweet songs none have heard
that tell of hearts and fates so found
through darkness, undeterred
sad music of the glory-bound
we've grieved without a word
and I'll recall with tenderness
the beautied cheek of home ...
the sapphire, greening
golden, preening
beautied cheek …
of home.
