Forever till the end of time

~Forever till the end of time~

 

On this landscape ghostly stark

Wicked bending branches spy

Opaque palettes, shaded sleep

Beneath a watchful raven’s eye

~

Fruited fears consumed in spite

Poisoned as is lonely hearts

Aftermath of shattered love

In the shadows now departs

~

Fight this spoil oh precious queen

I shall fly of taken rest

Seeking but the fortune’s fall

Castled deep my frantic quest

~

When in time a prince I shout

Beauty sleeps on misted floor

Where a kiss upon her lips

Breathes in life to her once more

~

Upon his steed of christened white

Blazing fast and sure of way

Love shall guide his cherished plea

Never more to run astray

~

When in the fog of deadly deed

Beauty on his eyes does call

Cherished as a whispered wish

 Upon his knees in rapid fall

~

Tears do moisten yearning cheeks

A smile forms upon his face

As lips now part the angered seas

And opened eyes his heart does trace

~

When dreams concede to feel his touch

Sweet as any fragrant vine

And In his arm to spend your life

Forever till the end of time

~

This stanza is amazing. Jackomantic, you blow me away with your fantastic poems. I wish I could write as amazing as you. I can't write unless it comes to me... You write about anything and everything. You inspire me, Jack. Loved this.

My friend, you are an amazing poet in your own right. I have nothing on you and your talent and I have had many, many more years practice.

Thank you so very much for your sweet words to me Sye. Always I enjoy seeing you visit my world and please stay as long as you like.

If I were to stay it would be forever.... aha.

This is one of my favorite rhyming schemes! Well done. :)

I've never actually heard the word 'castled' either. You learn something new every day!

Thanks so much Christopher...the word "castled" came straight out of my imagination...not sure spell check agreed with me. :) I appreciate your visit today.

No problem! It's been a minute since I've been on here, and I remembered you when I saw you pop up in my timeline. You've grown really popular so it looks. You deserve it. Your work is amazing. :)

What popped out of this for me is the impeccable meter.
Fantastic! You have a God-given talent to be able to fashion
such a lovely poem with the prompt being a single graphic.
This is among my favorites of yours.
Brilliant!

Forever to happily ever after -- is there a way to say bah humbug and not have it mean Christmas? Any way, despite all that, well written piece.
