PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am tired and need much-needed rest
Peace, love and undisturbed care.
I do not want to think at all
About anything -- I need the best
Of all that a loving woman can spare.
I have been toiling and working hard
In everything I did I put all my heart
I even loved as best as I could
The fairest 'Marian' of my 'Sherwood'.
My bold and daring beautiful 'Jane'
While I was her 'Tarzan' in the game
We played in between school and home
Life went on till she too left me 'lame'.
I do not know Fate Writer's mysteries
Why my first love still haunts my brain!
I am now loved by a model of femininity
Endowed even with rare inner beauty.
Her love for me is like a mythical tale
Inspired and written at the Muses Vale.
I have suffered a lot for many folks
Sacrificed my youth to cunning strokes.
Now I am distraught and left with the option
To destroy evil and end it all like Samson.
Or to pray to my Maker to ease my stay
And give me a bed made of love's hay.
And ample provision of manna and dew
(I am not thankless like the Biblical Jew).
All I need is freedom from worry
Peace, rest and love till eternity.
What more can my worn-out self want
Save love and care which He can grant.
Like I told you before, I am tired to the core
And may turn invisible and be seen no more...
Like my old poet friend Alexander Po'e
Vanish from those I don't want to know...
