The man had killed the thing he loved...

[lonely_me]

My choice! My choice - alas was had & gone
With the red gleam of the last summer's sun-
Lost in the deep in which he bathed his head,
My choice, my life, my hope together fled:-
A wanderer - here, no more I seek a home
The sky a vault - & Italy a tomb!
Yet as some days a pilgrim I remain
Linked to my orphan child by duty's chain;
And since I have a faith that I must earn
By suffering & by patience, a return
Of that companionship & love, which first
upon my young life's cloud, like sunlight burst,
And now has left me dark as when it beams
Quenched by the might of dreadful ocean stream,
Leave that one cloud, a gloomy speck on high,
Beside one star in the else darkened sky;-
Since I must live, how would I pass the day,
How meet with fewest tear's the morning's ray
How sleep with calmest dreams, how find delights,
As fireflies gleam through interlunar nights?

[lonely_me]

First let me call on thee, lost as thou art
Thy name aye fills my sense, the love my heart-
Oh! Gentle spirit, thou hast often sung
How fall'n on evil days thy heart was wrung;
Now fierce remorse and unreplying death
Wakend a chord within my heart, whose breath,
Thrilling and keen, in accents audible,
A tale of unrequited love doth tell.
It was not anger - while thy earthly dress
Encompassed still thy soul's rare loveliness,
All anger was attoned by many a kind
Caress or tear that spoke the softened mind:-
It speaks of cold neglect, averted eyes
That blindly crushed thy heart's fond sacrifice:-
Mine heart was all thy own - but yet a shell
Closed in it's core, which seemed impenetrable,
Till sharp-toothed misery tore the husk in twain
Which gaping lies nor may unite again-
Forgive me! let thy love descend in dew
Of soft repetance and regret most true;-

[lonely_me]

In a strange guise dost thou descend - or how
Could love soothe fell remorse? - as it does now! -
By this remorse and love - and by the years
Through which we shared our common hopes & fears,
By all our best companionship, I dare
Call on thy sacred name without a fear
And thus I pray to thee, my Friend, my Heart,
That in thy new abode thou'lt bear a part
In soothing the poor Mary's lonely pain,
As link by link she wears her heavy chain!
And thou, strange Star! ascendent at my birth
Which rained, they said, kind influence on earth,
So from great parents sprung I dared to boast
Fortune my friend, till set, thy beams were lost!
And thou - Inscrutable! by whose decree
Has burst this hideous storm of misery!
here let me cling, here to these solitudes,
These myrtle shaded streams and chestnut woods;
Tear me not hence - here let me live & die,
In my adopted land, my country, Italy!

My choice! My choice - alas was had & gone
With the red gleam of the last summer's sun-

the summers sun shone lightened lights
yet lightened hearts seeks day and night
flesh and blood shows stronger might
but now the descision for which path is right
an orphan child whos knowones delight?

he he i kinda got the idea for that from duff's lightebed lights poem he he he

How sleep with calmest dreams, how find delights,
As fireflies gleam through interlunar nights?
The sleep of death has no delight
except that death decides its plight
The undertaker he has his right
to burden your dreams with rightoues spite

You cant be calm for all your rest
trials must come at worst and best
God alone will know your zeal
the undetaker wants only to steal

for alone the lonely death lord cries
as burried bodies under him lies
the jealous undertaker asks why?
when will my chance come to die.

Forgive me! let thy love descend in dew
Of soft repetance and regret most true;-
The love of man is week with woe
the true love glistens white as snow
For if you think your God is true
why do times come when you feal blue

lol hope i didnt stray from the subject there you did really good all up there
