Poems
Oct 2017
Youth*
Youth does not for once
old age contemplate
it's the dawn of love
life it will celebrate.
The heart leaps to the sky
the arms longingly outstretch
the hours to joy they beckon
such bliss nothing could ever match .
Outside your chamber
even in the coldest winter night I wait
no glance you give me and walk away
yet I linger after midnight late
For by such alluring beauty
I'm imprisoned and I can't escape
I'll die gladly for her just one kiss
it's all vain pining now and in sorrow I drape.
* after Shelly
