Two Hearts Poem by Samuel Thor

Two hearts, long ago, did beat as one,
But now their time together is done.
Intertwined their lives and fates had been,
But neither of them could have foreseen.
This tragic tale begins with two,
Who loved each other as lovers do.
Though now apart they’ll forever stay;
And both do look back and frown on that day.

“We’ll see each other again, ” said he,
For there was none in the land as fair as she.
Oh, she loved him so, and so she cried her plea,
”Oh, please! Oh, please take this pain from me!
If with him I shall forever be free,
But when left apart, dead inside I will be! ”

Her plea went unheard, for he knew he must leave,
But her told her, he did, she but must only believe.
He told her his leave short would be and soon he’d return,
Then, finally, again their love would burn.
And in a flash he was gone, he had joined the ranks.
She wept all day, alone in despair at the river banks.

Two hearts, long ago, did beat as one,
But then in his absence she decided to have some fun.
Intertwined their lives and fates had been,
But she then met another who for marriage was keen.
This tragic tale indeed began with two,
Who, for one, two years service would do.
Though now apart they’ll forever stay,
It was only because of the letter he got on his mission one day.
