The wind blows your name...
alone to resist is not feasible,
your virtuosity entrancing me,
how I long for a cup of your
charm and grace...for a deliriously
intoxicated mortal such as I am.

Though perilous the journey measured,
you will be mine...as we alone take the
punishment...it is not enough that pending
quarrels leave little time for wondering...

my future already imminent...you alone
can pacify this fearful prophesy...precious
little favour did we receive from kindred,
love sealed...but not accepted but for the oracle.

My angel...as we follow out heart...let not the
sands of time run out, for in life and in death,
the four winds blow the flames of our passion,
casting our memory...we will not be forgotten.

"for a deliriously intoxicated mortal such as I am." - yep, we've all been there, Jenny! This is raw and beautiful - especially love that final stanza. Magic xxx

'the four winds blow the flames of our passion' was my favourite line, I think. I liked the structure of the poem, the way it was broken up. I could really hear the emmotion in the voice of the speaker.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Hi FB, writing poetry, is something that I love and when someone else gets as much pleasure from it, as I do writing, then it makes my day. Thankyou so much for letting me know, always appreciated. Jenny.

Hello skinner-jennifer, Jenny, I could "not let the sands of time run out..." before telling you how much I enjoyed your poem. I try to read as much poetry as I can in the vain hope that one day I will unravel it's mysteries! But tell me "love sealed but not 'excepted'"...I feel I want to read it as accepted. Forgive me if I have just ruined your poetic thought by being too pragmatic. Perhaps now you can see what I mean about me not having a poetic soul. But you do have... Moya

Hi Moya, thankyou so much for your help and you were so right about that word, I always seem to know what I need to get down in a poem, but slip up on the spelling. I have now put the word right. You certainly haven't ruined anything for me in this poem, I'm so glad you enjoyed, and took something from it, thankyou for letting me know and for the help. Jenny.
