A poem about immortal love...

 

Sweet love, if death’s black net my mind shall cover

And drape with doubly twining nets my heart,

Be not the one to weep and cry, dear lover

For never shall I from your essence, part.

When you shall to your chambered bed, retire,

I shall bear my embalming pinions

Above your crest, so that when you shall tire,

You’ll safely roam in dream’s dominions.

When you shall wake before the morning’s charms,

And bear upon your brain, renewéd thought,

I shall enwrap you with my tender arms,

Although you’ll feel them as the air and not

    As mortal flesh, but some unearthly ether,

    For, love, in life and death we’ll stay together.

I liked most of it. The "embalming pinions" gave me quiver though. What the heck are those? O_o

[Gleb Zavlanov]

Well, pinions mean wings, and embalming means mummifying. Odd, but I like it. I just hope it doesn't detract the poem itself.

The last line truly is a summary of romanticism, nice job mate.

[Gleb Zavlanov]

Thank you.

Gleb, to love without ending...my good friend, you paint it in such beautiful tones and masterful phrasing. To feel this for someone is pure magic, to have someone feel this way about you...the words have not been created yet to exactly explain how that feels...or at least until I have read your beautiful poem.

[Gleb Zavlanov]

Thank you for your kind words.
