Could ever Eden's garden bright <br />be sacrificed to futile fight <br />when teeming dreams continue to <br />rhyme sunshine beams to future true? <br />Illusion may prove idyll blessed <br />by horse and carriage marriage dressed <br />where night is day and day through night <br />prolongs shared happiness delight. <br /> <br />No way is truly lost, no flight <br />from fancy to fact fiction's blight, <br />no bark, no bite, and no denial, <br />no cruelty, one-sided trial, <br />no tarnish, wishing star at best <br />for future stars at love's behest. <br />No carelessness, for true insight <br />distinguishes between wrong, right. <br /> <br />Shared memories spell magic quite <br />enheartening, self-sustaining, might <br />dissolve fears with alacrity <br />show there's no cause, fatality <br />lies outside shared experience, <br />while slow decline at soul's expense <br />is out of court. Love must be right <br />must sweep suspicion out of sight. <br /> <br />Best is a plateau pearly white, <br />envelops life in peerless light, <br />If you discover, much ado, <br />I'm not the one, to self stay true, <br />let old affection guarantee <br />that love despises locks, float free, <br />and through that freedom find despite <br />doubts past, at last innate birthright. <br /> <br />(2 March 2009)<br /><br />Jonathan ROBIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/plateau/
