Battle of the (s)Ex's

Contributed by Ratwick on Tuesday, 12th December 2006 @ 01:40:02 AM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

O Captain, My Captian
Your ship has fought hard
Many have died,
And many wear the scars
We have acted as one
A force that burned bright, outshining the Sun.
No one, no souls, no soldiers could know,
The Love that we shared nor the blood it would shed.
Not borders, not oceans, not words and not poems
E'er could stop what we thought would just not.
But Captain, O My Captain
This was foolish and heavy
We mobilized, and advanced
Before we were ready
The troops were all happy, well trained and well fed,
Our cannons sang loudly, and bravely we tread!
On and on, till we out shone our own Sun
And it was by our own light that we blinded our guns.
O Please Captain, See Captain
I still Love you the same,
Though I am blinded, bleeding, heart broken and maimed.
Cos Captain, My Captain
I now see that our seas will never be tamed.
My Captain, My Mistress,
Our arrows won't miss us
They hit hard, they hit home, and straight through our hearts
O Captain, My Captain
We have both played our parts.
My Battle, My Mistress, My Soul and My Heart
I will always Love You,
Till death, ever after our part.

Sean MacLeod

I would like to think that Whitman & Lincoln would love that you dedicated this to your love perhaps with leaves of grass?

Some poems are cut like gems that need polishing to really break out the luster and 'shine on you crazy diamond'.

Good Job
Peace
