Ladylove

Ladylove
By: Adam M. Snow

 

There once was a lady by the name of Ladylove,
who was said to be a saint sent from above.
But no one knew just who she was;
a ghost indeed was she, was she.
She approached a swain* one day, one sorrowful day;
stealing his heart as she ran away.

 

She left with a flutter in a moonlit still,
her beauty graces her for a splendid time.
She haste to a pond of midnight glow,
a lad soon followed as he watched her go.
She looked in his eyes with sadness there,
looking away as she's engulfed in light.

 

She step a foot in starlit water still,
meandering a swan not by will.
The boy he haste to grasp her hand,
letting his love guide as they shift to swans;
he a swan of black and she is white,
they soar now into the ever moonlight.
The story now told of a love everlasting,
of two young swans, on moonlit casting.

Thank you

[Sami Khalil]

It sounds like a classical tale from that period but with a modern feel to it.
I like:
Her beauty graces her for a splendid time.
engulfed in light...

[Adam M. Snow]

I am quite glad you like it

[Sami Khalil]

The beauty about poetry is that we all have a different flare or style that makes it diverse and interesting. Keep on the path and the remember that success is the journey not the destination.( I said that in my poem inspiration time)

A very good tale of mystery and love. I like the story of myth. Always a good ending if the writer desired. I like the positive ending to the excellent poem.
