To Love Thy Lady Shakespearian Style

A fun attempt at a different style.

 

To truly love one's soul fully

Is to let your passion burn

Like eternity has come and gone,

Appreciate every ounce of beauty

Flowing from thee truest one’s heart,

Memorize every line, curve, smile

So when separated by miles

They are never more then a blink away.

Let not false distractions

Of mundane duties nor flesh of strangers

Cast sins upon your heavenly devotion,

Layin' it to rest in the depths of hell.

For when the one

That brings out heaven within

Thy heart like a prayer answered

They should be worshiped not forsaken

Or life shall become a self-purgatory.

It sounds like what to do with a great love once u find it you hold on to it treat as if the best thing u cant live without however for if "forsaken ....life will become a self purgatory" Powerful poem! It touches on many levels of what language used to be about when the language was love such as Romeo and Juilet!

[Alfred Kukitz]

Love the ideals but Agent Orange had other plans for my passion.

Ooh … you spun the Bard here. Really, really fine penning. This lady did some melting. I think you reached the challenge and some of this one I wrote a ways back.

Thank you very much… I was challenged to write in Shakespearian style, and well I couldn't help but accept it.

[Lyn Anderson]

Very deep and romantic, nicely penned.

Thank you KL… I am just a big hopeless romantic. Can't help myself.

[Frieda P]

Such the consummate romantic, this is really exquisite Dale, I love the flair ...'thy heart like a prayer answered'...sigh.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you Moonbeam. I was challenge a few tears ago to try writing like Shakespeare, this was the result… I am thrilled I could make you sigh.

[AprilRN1210]

very sweet, and so true.. it is about those little things etched in our memories when separated that can keep the heart afloat... well done Dale.. I enjoyed seeing this side of your writing... enjoy that heaven.. it is beautiful.. :)

I wish I had that heaven, actually this is from a few years ago, a friend challenged me to try doing poetry in Shakespearian style. It was fun trying. Thank you so much.

Someone once said that combined all of Shakespeare's work sums up every human desire, both good, and bad.

An honest homage, where that last verse lingers in me with all its truth. Self purgatory here on earth is always a choice. Sadly.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you kindly sir.

Why thank you so much... it was quite an experiment style wise... read a lot of Shakespear before doing it. Glad you really liked it.

I got bored once...rewrote Paradise Lost...the ying/yang version...the learning process was actually fun.
