Lovers LakeA Poem by Paris HladLovers Lake
-Inward Is the Tragedy-
-
We walk no more together On the shores of Lovers Lake, For dreams flee old affections When new passions are awake
We walk alone and love as one, For we are scarcely here Quite long enough To comprehend
What is most Plainly clear
We are by chance, By chance we love, By love, we chance to be, But lovers on a lovely lake Who love but momently.
And
wrongly loved, we wrongly live, And
wrongly dreams our dreams, As we
give up our lives to love, Believing
what it seems And all
our days are moored to that, Or, in
that, they seem so " Then,
inward is the tragedy, And outward
is the flow. © 2023 Paris Hlad |
