New life

Submitted by Christa on Fri, 06/12/2009 - 20:00

Oh new love
Fresh of air and life
A cruel Ulysses, come to conquer me
A turn of pace
From peace to awake

Work, my mind cannot fathom
If your heart I seek
Play, my mind denies
I respite upon your oaths

Let me know thee
Let me love thee
My entire being vibrates
A harp’s chord chiming beat

New life, your love makes
The sunset radiant
My body sing, my muscles ache
My heart pumps:

Blood, young and vibrant and
I am basking in the sun
Of your warmth, your life
Giving life to mine.

I like this; it's pretty, but I'm a little confused as to what it means.

"True love is the greatest thing in the world - except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe." - Miracle Max, from The Princess Bride

"I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question." - Harun Yahya

thanks Bridget :). I wrote it about falling in love, and how love can bring new life to your love for all things. But, like all poetry, its about what you get out of it and not necessarily what I intended. :)

I love your princess bride quote btw, one of the best movies of all time :)
