Her eyes are like unto the sea <br /> their colour changing constantly <br />Their beauty has ensorcelled me. <br />Try as I might I can’t break free. <br /> <br />The lady is quite innocent <br /> I must absolve her from intent <br />I met her gaze by accident. <br />But the effect is permanent. <br /> <br />I was not searching for romance <br /> but captivated by her glance, <br />I was resolved to take a chance <br /> to change my future circumstance. <br /> <br />Was I a fool to entertain <br />the faintest hope that I might gain, <br />the lady’s heart or live in pain <br /> and still a bachelor remain <br /> <br />The burning question had to be. <br />What did the lady think of me? <br /> and could she possibly agree <br /> to dare to share her life with me. <br /> <br />Although we think we have free will. <br />Mother Nature has the skill <br />to create plans we must fulfil. <br />So we obey or foot the bill. <br /> <br />Regretting that we did not do <br />what Mother Nature meant us to. <br />It seem the lady felt this too. <br />An old, old tale forever new. <br /> <br />04/06/2009 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/predestined-for-my-lady-irene/
