Uncertainty

Uncertainty

A Poem by Eichendorff
"

Feelings that I tried to put in words

"

I had the chance

I screwed it up

Made no advance

Been sold a pup


By inner lag

Of confidence

To simply check

If my plush plans


To conquer you

Romantically

Could become true

I can't foresee


Do you like me
Will it be love

A state-to-be

Or do I bluff


Myself when I

Pretend that you

Deem me the guy

For honeymoon


Just possibly

Just as a thought

My only plea

I only sought


You letting me

Know what you think

If you agree

There is this link


Between us two

Please see it too

I'd like to woo

Just one, just you


I fall asleep

And in my dreams

My deep thoughts keep

As it then seems


You vivid at

A sparkling space

It's in my head

Where I embrace


Not only you

On top of this

But two by two

Togetherness


When you appear

On my life's stage

And when you sphere

Me, you engage


A humble youth

With all your traits

Stunned so in sooth

I ask the Fates


To stand by me

When I'm with you

Audacity

To say what's true


You make the play

A comedy
You make my day

A time of glee


Words failed me though

What is the key

My greatest foe

Hesitancy


My fear was real

I did not dare

Dwell on appeal

The spell was there


What am I lost

In universe

What does it cost

To flee my curse


I just wish luck

I just wish pluck

A mix of both

And finally
Your lover's oath
