Through Love's Eyes

But of love, which if a mouth it had
from whence it was born,
Would speak, painfully clad,
only in scorn
Except to that which is beautifully adorned
And to think of all this
Is to make the heart miss
what only mattered most
As though it were a splendid kiss
long forgotten, a shadowy ghost
But lo! Behold!
Love, for love to no longer run cold
must dream,
Dreaming dreams of heavenly beings
Then a smile doth appear across love's face
For joyous is the thought in love's embrace

Author's Note

Rhyming freeverse. This is my oldest poem, among the very first I've ever written, and the oldest one I've kept. Thanks for reading.

Beautiful poetry, somehow I missed this one. I love to free verse rhyme ever now and then, wonderful flow. I wished my first poems writtens would have been even a tenth as good as this. Excellent work as always, Robert. Thank you for sharing. David

Hey, old poems and lyrics are always great to post and revisit. However, this is another great poem. Expressing love in poetic ways is always great. So, this is really awesome.
