Love Story

Kevin Michael Bloor

I sang to love when she was young:

“You are so very fair,

for you are like a faery queen

with moonbeams in her hair.”

 

I sang to love before she set,

like empire’s sinking sun:

“You’ll always be the maid I miss

now growing up’s begun.

 

I sang to love with sorrow’s song

when from my side she strayed.

A low lament, on broken strings,

by bitterness betrayed!

 

I sang to love in twilit grove 

when she had turned to dust:

“You’ve made a melancholic man

of me, who’s lost all trust.”

 

I sang to love the sweetest song

when on my aging brow

she placed her tender, loving lips:

Returned! I knew not how.

    'A low lament, on broken strings,
    my bitterness betrayed.'
    this line and that last verse hit home for me, a wonderful read..
    I liked your play on a fairy tale theme as well, inclusive of that essential happy ending
    it reinforces that surreal element of disbelief your voice conveys
