    Yours from the First

     

    Newborn lovers swaddled in gossamer expectations

    In a whitewashed tower room above the rivers rush

    Words of hope exchanged in whispered incantations

    Tangled sheets and bodies subside to a sacred hush

     

    Two novices hand to hand in prayerful supplication

    Fearful to receive nothing or all that they requested

    Fragile vows pilot a tremulous flight of imagination

    Undertakings of constancy made but as yet untested

     

    Swathed by the mists that rise on a Cam-side dawn

    Passion turns to adoration as a couple dread to part

    Willing hearts rush in where experience would warn

    Anxiety and optimism; were every story has its start

    once again this is a great poem. i must agree with Doninha. Shakespeare would want to clam this as his own. THis would have been a great poem to perfect romeo and juliet. You are a great writer and very creative

    MAGNIFICENT, EXALTED, NOBLE, AWE-INSPIRING!!!! Shakespeare would have tried to claim this as his own! I would love to hear this poem recited by you. It begs to be heard.

    Oh, this is so different. I was afraid you were going to have them do the swan song thing in the last refrain. Glad it ended so pretty. Very nice poem.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
