The unkindly fate that veils the lover’s future <br />Such is the barbarous condition of new love <br />The imitative exercises of lost-loves past <br />Forgotten from the mind of mortal beings <br />Who fall in love, hook, line and sinker <br />Again and again and again and again and with <br />The coming of a new love comes the dream <br />That led them by subtle ascension to trust <br />One-another while the horizon momentarily <br />Broadened for the chance of a lasting love while <br />Shutting their eyes to complex possibilities of failure <br />According the power and the opportunity of fate <br />And the shining contempt of life that leads <br />The believer to self-denial of a failed love possible<br /><br />William Cavanagh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-veil-of-fate/
