True Love in Common hearts by Susan K. de Vegter Sunday, March 19, 2006 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan The deaths of these two is immortal history unjustified to this day. In my poem I wish to keep their love alive .
Shadow dancing figures, Dark grays upon the walls Enveloped and intermingled Flowing down the halls Celtic embrace of lovers Mutually... involved Ghosts with sepulchers forever caught No mystery here to solve Theory died with their love These two now dance above For wars are cold for lovers Whose hearts are put on hold She the lassie of Belfast He of Protestant born Her Catholic life outspoken Because of someone's son They ran in shadows and darting lights They hid their hearts each day Their every thought to sneak aboard A ship and sail away Their love was born in honesty Without the hint of hate Emotion twisted into briars... Worn like open fate They went against the grain to love Their purity was just They went to sleep one fateful night Their tears then turned to rust The footsteps of a stealthful pair Came steely up the stairs Then bullets tore their hearts apart Yet bonded them in tears They justified their love just then By being souls above The hatred of their fathers' land Blessed with their fated love They dance eternally for fate Gave them a second chance To openly engage all hearts To win...perchance to dance They whirl in halls with fluted sounds That echo off the stone They love forever without shame Their hearts secure at home They weave their silent message As Shadows fall on the walls "Welcome to all lovers" Who hear this fated call Love is born pure at birth It's given for a purpose It can't be politically justified For hearts should not be cursed If you love and it is pure Then nothing matters when Religion, wars ,caste systems... Are judged by bittered kin Love is one thing God gave us To weave our hearts together It waltzes now in silent halls Their fated souls still tethered The Celtic knot speaks for souls Whenever love entwines No beginning or an ending Just infinite over time So heed the call for love of hearts Take down this awful ban Give back true love to rusted tears In Eire this true love stands! No more dodging shadows ... Hiding in the dark For Catholic forms with Protestants For true love in common hearts. � 2000 Susan K. de Vegter Susan welcomes your comments!

This is one hell of a great Irish ballad my dear heart, and I love Irish ballads. The rift between religions has caused more sin in world history then can even begin to be imagined. God made us all in his image and told us to love one another, not just ones that worship the way we do. As an ex-catholic I detest the wars and deaths that have taken place in the name of my babtised religion as well as those of all religions. Anyway I digress as they say but your poem raised the ire in me so to speak. Felix

An age-old ban on coming from "different sides of the tracks." Whether it be from different religions, sexual preference, race, education, rich or poor, True Love in Common hearts speaks for the unity of love in all of its categorical differences. This whole tragedy unfolds for millions in today's society, moved to the edge of their chairs in shame because what the moral majority preach as being unacceptable, therefore many don't live freely for fear of putting their lives in jeopardy. Some are even exposed through breach and put to death. The Spirit knows how much one can take. Never give up for which you believe in. Never quit! The tide will turn. A miracle will happen. There is no hopeless situation unless you become a hopeless person. You keep hope alive by tapping the unlimited power of spiritual living. For me, it is through the Goddess that gives me hope. This is a very revealing piece, Susan. It is Truth! Sage
