A Love Poem


In the middle of a wood

lived a man who understood

what it felt like, to be alone



If it weren’t for the trees,

gently blowing in the breeze,

there wouldn’t be any sound



But on a fine spring morn,

not long since the day had dawned,

a carriage came his way



And as the horse went by

it happened suddenly,

the noble beast threw a shoe



Springing up upon the sound,

he saw laying on the ground,

a maiden, warm and fair



He felt his beating heart

deftly pierced by Cupid’s dart

on seeing loves true form



The maiden felt the same

and they kindled passions flame

vowing ne’er to be apart



They swiftly named a day,

to be wed without delay,

and plighted each their troth



So happy were the pair,

so full of life, so free of care

they couldn’t help but beam



So the home amongst the beech,

where once love was out of reach,

was filled with laughter e’remore.
