Love Poem: Love Armageddon

Love Armageddon

Like the ring, without start or end
My affection hath run a course without end
For one fair of aspect, mind and heart
Birthed on the cravings of my ailing heart

Then thrived on the embers of will
It become my epistle, my life, my fill
A full heart with cravings but for one
A one with equal craving for this one

I was a better man for knowing you
It was a dream come true
Then comes now the time to part
I fear the workings of a new start

Deep within me only I cry
A Soundless and noiseless sigh
Many chances did we burn
'Gainst each other at times did we turn

A life of challenge we broached
But better for the love we poached
I'll yet again quite believe
To God for a better reprieve

It were a time of blissful joy
When well I thought we'd have a boy
But we courted later hopes for a girl
Then burned this dream too, and begot hell

My heart had found the trail
And known myself on trial
To provide would have done the good
Only love makes a man a dood

I have known Eden in love
The which overshadowed the Hell in life
It hath been more than the heaven of life
Never will I fear the Armageddon of love

Just a little more guessing
Or a clearer vision or blessing
Having the time to recover
And the belief in a rollover

Now may I calmly moan
No, surely rest and let my heart roam
And thereby contemplate a new start
With resilient heart, may I try this new start!
