POEM: Lady Lover’s Lament
This was composed for the CPC Saturday Share poetry challenge. Angel Love’s must-use line is the first one ion this poem.
LADY LOVER’S LAMENT
Blinded by the tears I cry,
never really knowing why.
Expressions on a gloomy day
helps enlighten a new way..
Misty eyed as I ask why
Mourning with my special guy.
The one who helped me fly so high
who got me wet when I was dry.
Crying like a little kid,
concerned that I might flip my lid,
till I no longer see the sky.
Yet I still long to learn to fly!
Hope gets dim and starts to die.
I feel my future fly off high,
above the clouds up in the sky,
till inner sight reveals the lie.
Routine has got me in its grasp,
held fast by circumstances’ clasp.
Though dreams of us fill every day,
encumbrance halts a break away..
So we live on day by day,
dragging our four feet of clay,
stuck among familial brambles,
neither ready for the shambles.
Alhough we savor the same goal;
Moving on would rip a hole.
Could love fulfilled ever fill it?
Or would guilt cripple and kill it?
Though uncertainty restrains us,
Still the dreaming well sustains us.
A precious tie which binds us tight
till someday comes a new daylight,.
