I Have The Soul Of Poetry To Keep Poem by Captain Cur
I Have The Soul Of Poetry To Keep
What words can strengthen my mortality?
What sounds can wake me from this worldly sleep?
Imagined obstacles appear too steep
to climb, in pain and weakness would I die
or call upon my eagle in the sky;
nor live in fear of death, I will not weep
I have the soul of poetry to keep
fresh, alive, not a tear escapes my eye.
The bards of old, their glorious refrains
redeems me from the agony and pain;
purity, knowledge, charity and truth
words that forged the pillars of my youth
and years, whatever numbers still remain,
I will grasp a magnitude!
This is a beautifully crafted sonnet. Embedding the soul of poetry is no mean feat.++10
