They may have fled from me; let my voice live! While others seek to use new fangledness And turn from me, thy tribute to me give. I, though sorrowful, shall praise thy goodness.
Forgive Me Now Forgive me now for I cannot help but stare, The twinkle in your eyes, the shine of your hair Commandeer my senses and leave me out of air. Forgive me now.
Forgive me now for my intense gaze But your stunning beauty has put me in a daze, Now all I can do is sit and be amazed. Forgive me now.
Forgive me now for I must say That I’ve admired you each and every day I can wait no more I must have you today. Forgive me now.
Forgive me now for if I knew not the King Ignorance would make for an easier fling. I can wait no more, I want us to do this thing. Forgive me now.
Forgive me now for it breaks my heart But the time has come for us to part. The more secrets, the more the King will tear us apart Forgive me now.
Before I met my Lady of the East Older lovers too soon over scorn me By reason of virtue to say the least Virtues unmatched causèd anxiety My lady took care of me in sickness By her touch health be bestowed upon me But no touch can compare with soft kiss Her kisses say no sweeter words to me And in my times of deep desperation My lady is my rock and my strong base With the efforts herein the description My affectionate lady is my ace Daisuki* my lovely Lady of the East Your affection comforts this tense man beast
My muse crowds me with listlessness Among the days of clouded grey; An enemy of mine, so few to say, Now that it speaks to me of madness. And every thought beats a cruelness, Against the aching, tearing wall. The endless voice doth call. Of pounding surrender and cautious frightfulness, Constant touching, words spoke in darkness Keeps the weary body from need, Shaken by hope and hurt by greed. A dream now hidden, yet still an image of sharpness, That shall never release my mind To allow me to seek of what I find.
Voice, now sing! For our final song Cruelly last thou does me wrong. My shrill voice let not understate Thy grievous behaviors and wrongs. Aid me voice, twist my love to hate.
Perform not I for some deaf throng, Jumbled chorus or quiet song. Voice of mine thy cold elevate Wail not, be strong. Sing not, too long Be frank, once state, don’t imitate.
Against a wall a ball is thrown And the ball propels from the stone. Still, worse is the spit from your face; It cuts through stone, dear Cupid moans At your lack of romantic grace.
Care not I, Voice pause not to rhyme, As older you looks back in time, Lamenting self-taught whimsy taste For losing twenty creatures fine; Youth away, age has won your face.
Thank you Voice for that final song, To simple truth it doth belong. And now these notes wish to retire. If you, like he, be bold and wrong Care not my Voice, be burned by fire.

Before I met my Lady of the East
ReplyDeleteOlder lovers too soon over scorn me
By reason of virtue to say the least
Virtues unmatched causèd anxiety
My lady took care of me in sickness
By her touch health be bestowed upon me
But no touch can compare with soft kiss
Her kisses say no sweeter words to me
And in my times of deep desperation
My lady is my rock and my strong base
With the efforts herein the description
My affectionate lady is my ace
Daisuki* my lovely Lady of the East
Your affection comforts this tense man beast
*Japanese for I like you
My Muse
ReplyDeleteMy muse crowds me with listlessness
Among the days of clouded grey;
An enemy of mine, so few to say,
Now that it speaks to me of madness.
And every thought beats a cruelness,
Against the aching, tearing wall.
The endless voice doth call.
Of pounding surrender and cautious frightfulness,
Constant touching, words spoke in darkness
Keeps the weary body from need,
Shaken by hope and hurt by greed.
A dream now hidden, yet still an image of sharpness,
That shall never release my mind
To allow me to seek of what I find.
Voice, now sing!
ReplyDeleteVoice, now sing! For our final song

It cuts through stone, dear Cupid moans
At your lack of romantic grace.
