Tis Love

20/1/2013

Listen well and gather round
   For a tale of love both lost and found
Its start comes at the age of ten
   In a land hurt by wars of men
Both lad and lass has lost their parents
   Their homes and lives charred ashes in cement
In this bleak and painful time
   Each other's help they did find

Charlie had a small guitar
   To play with lady Erica
Together they did form an act
   To entertain as soldiers pas
The passing men did tip them well
   Both their purse and bellies swelled
This went on for 6 odd years
   The war did pass as did their fears
Then a man did come along
   Who offered her a showbiz song

Erica and Charlie said goodbye
   Upon their parting both did cry
Upon the stage she found success
   Charlie embraced the wilderness
He knew as soon as she had gone
   How strong it was their shared bond
He began to write songs of love
   There count not be any oth'
These songs did travel far and wide
   Until they reached Erica's bedside

There after 10 long years
   She remembered Charlie and burst in tears
Then one evening at a party
   Only creatives were invited
She saw Charlie through a crowd
   His eyes looked up and cleared a cloud
There did stand his one true love
   For so long he had been dreaming of
They drifted together in a trance
   And shared a first and sublime dance
From that time on they were together
   Tis love that's all that lasts forever

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
