To Thus Remember Thee

A love poem for someone I used to love...

Thus I met thee, and thus I shall remember thee…

For thou were an Angel arrived from some wondrous tale;

Heaven's answer, perhaps, to my prayer for Love, my voiceless plea,

And my dreams -- upon restless waters haunted by thy Beauty -- took sail.

 

Thus I loved thee, and thus I love thee still…

For thy warm and loving face, thy enchanting eyes, did bind me so:

Shackles of Beauty and chains of Hope suppress my will,

Yet to see thee again I would endure endless pain and woe.

 

Thus I yearn for thee; alas, Fate wills it not,

And for all the Love I pour out to thee, thou must give none back;

Though thou may be the treasure by my Heart most sought,

Thou must be the Joy I must forever lack.

 

Thy laugh, the song of Angels, I wish to hear; thy smile, the blaze of stardust, I wish to see;

Yet for Love or naught, my Life is to thus remember thee.

Beautiful poem. Thanks a lot for sharing. I can't help you with any constructive critic as I don't know much about poetry. All I can tell you is about the feelings you transmit.
It does make me feel your love for that person. So well done!
