Until We Meet Again

Awaken fair maiden,
renounce perpetual peace,
beseech dreams to bequeath
love’s whispers
upon thy awaiting blush

‘Tis I
whom not heeded
wasted moments

as silent pools pervade
beckoning thee
in hues of painted sunrise,
bereavement now beats
thy heart’s slumber
ablaze

for thou hast encompassed
thy essence
convalescing a vanished soul~

pledging unbounded adulation
upon thy heavenly lips,
sealing fidelities fate;

I kiss thee

farewell~

I am not sure if you will consider this dark as it is about love that is finally realized...

In spite of (or maybe because of) growing up as a tomboy between two brothers, I have always been rather fond of the "thee's" & "thou's" found within classical poetry, Jazzy. You've engaged them in such a delicate & effective manner, my Friend. I don't think this is dark, although it could conceivably be construed as such. Love can never truly be considered as dark; that would be lust or infatuation. Thank you for entering my contest, Poet. Good luck, Sweetie. Wanda

  Thank you dear Wanda for the very lovely compliment!
  I completely agree with you that love isn't dark unless it is infatuation or lust, but thought with death involved it may be considered so
  I do not write in this manner often, so I am very honored to hear your thoughts as they have brought a big smile to my heart!
  Thank you so very much!!

Smartly worded, and with passion. Eloquent and succinct. I think this line should read "thy" instead of "thou"...maybe I'm wrong, though.
