When, as the moonlight spreads
Over the still night,
I ponder love's sweet ventures,
Those journeys of the heart
Unknown to all except myself,
I look back to myths of ages past.
Such myths of the heart are so sweet
Yet so terrible to remember.
I remember as it were yesterday,
I wanted so much to say those divine words.
For I meant them, inside my heart.
The moment I looked to tell you,
You were gone as a feather on a breeze,
As was Eurydice in the ancient tale of Orpheus.
You represent not one who was,
But those who have been
And, I fear, all those to come.
Shall this heart's journey be filled
With only love that vanishes into air?
If so, then may God have mercy
And take my soul quickly from this Earth.
For I fear I cannot keep loving
If my love reaches only to the wind,
And true love for me is only a myth.
Please tell me what you think

Great!
I love the references to myths. I think you could improve if you didn't immediately state that you "look back to myths of ages past" and just instead simply did "look back to myths past" and included more references. As it is, it is very good. Beautiful...
I identify with it.
