Futility

We are as an empty tome,
you and I; From ransomed muse
whose echoed cries fear words sublime.
A feckless hope of reverie
for that which might our future be.

And now, sweet love, what good is it
To read from work untouched
by scrivener’s pen?
For love unrequited is but the same:
Our empty tome quiescent.


Author notes

A poem in the style of John Donne.
