Title:

What powerful force?

Post Text

Another of my poems, by request ---------------------------------------------- What powerful force is this that grasps my heart And binds it in a vicelike grip of iron. What rapturous torment tears my very soul apart And punctures every hope that I rely on. I cannot see, for I am surely blind And deaf to all but love's eternal song. I cannot feel for numbness strikes my mind And leaves me weeping for the hearth where I belong. Ah! Fickle fate you deal a cruel blow And leave me gasping in the atmosphere of love. So place me in an earthen rest below I can no longer stand the pain above. ---------------------------------------------- (C) David Loring
