POEM | Love's Tale Curtailed

In shadows deep, a secret veiled,

Whispers cling, love's tale curtailed.

Adorned in silence, words unsaid,

A naked soul, emotions bred.

Gaze upon me, a revealed sight,

Bare, yet clad in mystic light.

Decipher me, if thou dare,

To share this truth, a burdensome affair.

In the sound of devotion's plea,

I've proffered all, unshackled, free.

Comprehend this tortured heart,

Yet life's cruel dance keeps us apart.

A lifetime's glimpse, an eerie sight,

Reflections mirrored in haunted night.

Sail for shores unknown, my plea,

In my lifetime, once, love set us free.

Betwixt the moments, time astray,

In limbo, where shadows play.

A dance of souls, entwined, encore,

Irresistible allure, forevermore.

Now, reach out, thy hand extend,

Feel the pulse, a love to mend.

Grant me thy life, intertwine,

Years, days, minutes, a cryptic design.

Time, a riddle with a cryptic grace,

Yet love endures, a fervent embrace.

I, captive to thy amorous spell,

Forbid me not, let passion swell.

In the realm where echoes grow,

I succumb, enraptured, love aglow.

Gifted from realms unseen above,

In surrender's dance, I can't say no.

The one grand difference, stark and clear,

A heart's desire, drawing near.

Grant me the solace of love's sweet glow,

In this ethereal tapestry, let passion flow.
