Living Legendary Love

I have Romeo

Locked in my soul

Shackled up in wrought iron cuffs

Caught

No more pretty words

For the Juliets of the world

Desiring a romantic call

From Romeo’s heart

Sought

Deep inside

Don Juan resides

Unable to fable

Living legendary love

White dove at rest manifests

Into the phoenix

Betwixt

Fires burning passion

Ashes of regret

Where Abelard sits

Bound tongue

Cat runs into Eloise’s arms

Purring wink and blink

Flash of the eyes

Romance has not died

Love

Only withering away

Flowers dungeoned by weeds

No light of day

Great men of action

Trapped in my soul

Grow impatiently violent

Love’s warriors silent

Far too long awaiting

Their female champion

Warrior of heart

Lover of body

Freer of soul

Romance shall rejoice again

Leaving behind my mind

Dungeon for a time

To all the legendary loves

Including the newest

Mine
