A plea to Destiny


Poem Artwork

Let not, my dreams be sacrificed

For want of kindred spirit’s touch

Leave not, my soul in solitude

With just a broken dream to clutch

 

Take not, my aspirations down

And leave my precious hopes for dead

Oh, shine a light along the way

Some guidance for the road ahead

 

Cast not, my needs to stormy sea

Where they’d be lost beneath the tide

Inter them not, deep underground

Where bones and ended lives reside

 

Bring forth the sunlight to my face

That I may warm my chilled morale

Bestow my skin, soft kiss of rain

And cleanse me of lost love’s fatale

 

Embalm me not, in misery

Instil my heart with fortitude

Dispel the shadows from my mind

That I may breathe with gratitude.

Wonderful haunting piece, Ruan. Each line of each verse can be combined with its 'partners' to create poem verses within the poem. Such as lines 4;

Leave not, my soul in solitude
Oh, shine a light along the way
Inter them not, deep underground
Bestow my skin, soft kiss of rain
Dispel the shadows from my mind

Love this type of poem, where the sad sweetness flows softly yet deeply.

There is a mournful feeling of healing in your writing.
Along with a gravitas and depth, within the yearning.
The atmosphere is almost tangible.
A very special write.

Your words exude grace, style, and a warm sensitivity. I don't sense an emptiness, rather a gifted mind and a loving spirit that yearns to stay that way.

Open up and let yourself be free
when you can do this, you will open yourself
up to what you deserve dear Ruan...

Hugs darlin'

A beautiful, sad, very sad poem, Ruan. I wish for these pleas and entreaties will someday soon be a part of your life. I wish you happiness in the clutches of a love true and undemanding. I wish you everlasting, true love. Love the photo.
