“Surrender”

 

Art thou forever sanctioned to see

The ground move beneath as you leave

Hither discourse of my past sorrow

Shalt not deny the love of tomorrow

 

All the stars beseech you to believe

That heaven’s word bestows no fear

The light cometh and shines below

And across the paths to your abode

 

Henceforth the rains will fall like tears

Had never known of happiness here

Thy tender embrace feels so unharmed

Wilt surrender all my love and my heart

This is what i think of as old school, with the some of the traditional English lexicon.
Something which is very touching and candid.
Either post more poems, or hurry up and get your book out so I can check it out.

Thanks, Jon. :)

 

I don't always write using old english words but sometimes I am inspired to do so.

 

When I write it kind of just pours out in a matter of minutes and whatever is on the page is what I file away. No reviewing, no editing, a piece of my soul cast out into the world.

Hi Rachael,

I find your technique so moving, it is like 

the spirit of invisible things being spoken.

To be honest I felt a slight wave of envy, only for 

it to be replaced by awe.

As Jon said, hurry to get your book out as i'm sure

there are many who will find inspiration, value, even hope, in the 

magic you 'cast out into the world'. 

 

regards,

Mia.

Thank you for your inspiring words, Mia. I really appreciate it. It's nice to know others can connect with my words.
Just letting you know in case you didn't see the invitation on the events page, the launch of my book "Extracts from my Mind" is this Saturday. Details are on my page if you'd like to come!
