Candide

From the fallow lands, I leapt,
And bore no dark ambition.
Ere the presence of departing Love
I was wrought with a plaint disposition.
In the fallow lands I wept,
Like the empyrean there above.
Amid the airs, the empurpled veil
Proliferates manifold
Romance like a plangent wave,
So obtrudes Love’s dominion’s wail
And the mysteries unfold
In tenebrous lands so lie
(Where the daunted and pliable lie)
Not one hue of azure sky!
Now dawn, in our hearts, rises never.
(Love bares no light again)
Now no effulgence can dissever
The good roses from our sin!
So, all is night, for is shorn of the light,
No aria dwells within.
No eyes will they glaze
In the recesses of my soul
And it’s immortal blaze!
No lilt of olden flowers bloomed
Laments the fallow land entombed,
Or memories of pleasant days!
I suck at poetry... :disgust:
And bore no dark ambition.
Ere the presence of departing Love
I was wrought with a plaint disposition.
In the fallow lands I wept,
Like the empyrean there above.
Amid the airs, the empurpled veil
Proliferates manifold
Romance like a plangent wave,
So obtrudes Love’s dominion’s wail
And the mysteries unfold
In tenebrous lands so lie
(Where the daunted and pliable lie)
Not one hue of azure sky!
Now dawn, in our hearts, rises never.
(Love bares no light again)
Now no effulgence can dissever
The good roses from our sin!
So, all is night, for is shorn of the light,
No aria dwells within.
No eyes will they glaze
In the recesses of my soul
And it’s immortal blaze!
No lilt of olden flowers bloomed
Laments the fallow land entombed,
Or memories of pleasant days!
I suck at poetry... :disgust:
