A Message to My Love

As I guard my honor,

My love in a foreign land

Ravishes beauties

Who belong to others.

Safely he will come,

But he has left me dead.

O traveler, tell him

That my youth wastes away…

If time goes on

Life too will go

And never shall we love again…

Author's Note

For my lover, who live in foreign land.

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
Robert Herrick, 1591 - 1674

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he’s to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Both mine and Robert's advice. (smile)

poor attempt at pretending you don't speak the language.

punch yourself in the face for թուլություն

This message seems a little confusing to me. Here's what it sounds like: the man is screwing around with married women in another land, while his lady is waiting, being chaste, and pining over him. Altho your words are graceful & well-stated in a poetic sense, the message kinda makes me sick, becuz it sounds like she's being a fool. I know many women do this waiting thing while their men go off & mess around with anyone they please . . . so this is a valid message that some can relate to. But I find it to be very unpleasant. The ending makes it sound like the woman is getting up some backbone, saying things won't go on this way very much longer, but to me, this is way too weak a statement on the woman's part. Even tho I dislike your message, your writing is very good.

Don't pander barley, you embarrass yourself. Also, you spelled an a*s ton of words wrong in that review. If you're going to review long with an air of superiority you might want to spell your s**t right. Just saying... you're full of s**t barley.

This is so sad and beautiful. I cannot pinpoint but these lines have an eastern touch to it.
I love the style in which you have expressed yourself. The subject matter is indeed sad.

[Inject Positivity]

That's so beautiful yet melancholic... I can feel your words frnd... Very sweetly done to express this...I can understand how painful it is live far away from the one you love so deeply... I hope your beloved comes back to you as soon as possible... May God bless you...

Sincerely
Dhiman
