Unsung

For Dante Alighieri

Unsung

You are the king of my universe
your poetry sets my heart ablaze
where the river was born to a peaceful flow
we stand together as one sweet soul

In this the tempestuous ocean of life
our paths have never crossed
there is no greater sorrow
knowing our hands will never touch
but you are deep within me

my love of poetry
has led me to your wisdom

"Love which absolves no one is beloved from loving"

you have captured my imagination
 with your fiery charm

and for eternity you will stay
 
but I?
 
I, my love...
 
 will die my sweet death unsung.

I've gotten used to the fact. But like you 
There be courses in my future methinks

I've never been on a Shakespeare course although I'd love too some day.

Afraid to say I don't share your or Rory's enthusiasm for Shakespear or Alighieri
( sorry) but I do like this poem very much Shirley and I love the last line. (Your work will live forever on Cosmo!! ) I really love to know what everyone on here is reading though. I'm more a Raymond Carter fan, not all but a few of his works I find outstanding. Hugs x

Dearest Marion I've never heard of Raymond Carter but I also adore, Sylvia Plath's work, and Edgar Allan Poe, and Oscar Wilde, oh so many, this is a comedy piece about not ever being famous but you my friend have humbled me with my fame here on Cosmofunnel 🤣 I don't think I would ever want to be famous in any case. Thank you my dear friend. 🌹
