To Love And Be Loved By You Poem by Captain Cur

To Love And Be Loved By You

Rating: 4.2


How long shall I wallow in lesser truths
to mend this trembling heart, too frail to touch,
my words are weak and lack a steely proof
that must risk all when all is not enough.
What great lessons in and of yourself teach
embroidered by passion and all that is good,
I drop this letter at your virtuous feet
for you have graced the path of womanhood.
Commence then in my mind a strong belief
tempered by the trials of fortitude,
each moment atones, surmounts my grief,
while I strive to love and be loved by you.

Mr. Soul, pirates can be lovable in the right setting of course. When they are writing and not plundering. Thank you for being you.
