Poem
(Lemuria: A hypothetical "lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.) *********************************** The Tale Of Lemuria, Master Poe, Pen And I Its birth a shake of Neptune's golden trident Its glow a diamond glitter on the moon As stars bow to its powers resplendent Ghosts of Avalon's truth, dance into June Sacred is the golden river that flows by With steep white banks that beg water's laps And each accepts the tears we poets cry As too oft into our griefs, we relapse Sweet, enchanted music that Lemuria gifts Beautiful its maidens in hypnotic dance All days are Spring's season that souls lift Passionate the nights that birth true romance There eternal orchard grows it fruits divine By it a river flows, waters singing along Above it, oft shows gleaming Heavens so fine Under yellow moon's repose, sweet windblown song Visit one may pay, if heart can stand the test Of touching earth's soul and holding its light One none can pass but poets, the very best All others, Lemuria strikes away with a blight Lemuria, thy kiss was savored in my wild youth I bid thee hello, begging of thee just this For I am that child of loss and a wayward truth And desireth I, thy fairest of maidens soft kiss Deny not this desperate plea, for such you owe Tis' I, that your soul once saved and let go In midnight's romantic dream her heart I stole For that trespass, you placed on me a heavy toll Now I return, my slashing sword, a bleeding pen Dear fair maiden, you must release to my land For your place pure hell I can ink times ten Bow to me, live on, by giving me her loving hand A mighty crash and voice from above this said Poet, fear I not any verse you may dare sling For I sleep eyes wide open, giants guard my bed So if thee darest, let thy pen at its best sing With that affront, I spoke to my friend Master Poe Of Lemuria's weakness, my dear friend- what do you know This he said, her head is big and clay is her toes Take there some devil grass, threaten to let it grow Threaten her magnificent beauty, she will give in Walk in and laugh loudly as you saunter about And friend, remember thy sword is thy shielding pen Speak boldly by commanding thy wish with a shout As full moon her paradise shores that night lit a word spoke- quick as a wink, Lemuria gave all to me doing as Master Poe had said was a big hit Master Poe, both my pen and I, so truly thank thee! Now fair maiden sits here as this tale I write our days are bliss, heaven blesses our nights after midnight, Lemuria oft we can see by moonlight Won her I, my pen gave'th its mightiest fight! Robert J. Lindley, 12-05-2019 Rhyme, ( Master Poe, tis' a true friend to have :) Note: Once on a midnight deary, I wrote tired and weary a tale of love, mythology and Lemuria's broken pride how poetic pen and I hath made Lemuria all teary now fearing my verses, so far away Lemuria hides!
