I wrote this after watching the English Patient one of my fave movies and after reading John Milton, one of my favorite writers. As I wrote this I sorta got lost in it, and at one point I didn’t even know what I was writing, the words just tumbled out. When it was finished I fell in love with what I had written. Feel free to listen to the soundtrack music from the movie while you read!
LOVE DENIED
Does not love denied move the heart?
Love discovered, in time is lost,
Love half grown, yet ripped away!
Love wandering deserts desperate for rest,
Does not the heart morn in wake of love?
Weep, as love blossoms in potential?
As hope graces its wings to soar.
Does love without its home become satisfied?
Does not love denied move the heart?
Love fulfilling, love adored,
Love denied, tho both desire…
Love ill timed, passions consuming!
Does not the heart leap at love unmet?
Does not sorrowful love embrace the soul?
As sorrows love becomes thy hearts delight
For love unwavering is unrequited.
Alas, how my heart does move for love denied.
