Gathering in my thoughts to guard away
Gathering in my thoughts to guard away
unwilling to confide in love's soft ear
Let none who hear repeat that which I say
lest all I treasure deigns to disappear.
In keeping with this need that bores so deep
by buffeting the conscience to and fro
libations of the heart-strings swear to keep
embittered secrets from so long ago
Pure Purgatory in the world at large
I lay before her rule my candid list
Let justice steer her sentence to my charge
Let justice answer why a man did this
On reading words of plaintiff's solemn pleas
Cannot your heart be sweet, and no more caustic
Know this, the words I write, consider these
Sometimes, my ideas start with an acrostic.
What a wonderful flow this one has, it gently rolls off the tounge..great write
Love's soft ear! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
