For, I would not have love, lest love would have me.

For, I would not have love, lest love would have me,
Ti's was a day of reckon, an-others love I seek,
My mind was taken merciless; my heart was cold and weak,
I give my heart and take your hand, have I not said to thee?

My mistakes are plenty, and to that I will attest,
Would I've not sought an-other, to fill the cold abyss,
I would not have found the answer, for surely I would miss,
The answer lied within me, may I lay my mind to rest?

I've never known such a love, lest worth admit the cost,
The deep-cold dead of winter, I pray will stop my heart,
Should you leave and bid farewell, I'll surely fall apart,
A new found burning candle lit, for a love I nearly lost.

I pray you tell, for where are your desires be?
For, I would not have love, lest love would have me.

    perfect

    I love the abba rhyme structure to this piece,which is so suitable from this contest,and is a keen,clever interpretation of the prompt.I can not fault this work in any way.A thoroughly engaging piece,which was truly inspiring to read.My mistakes are plenty is a line with in the work of art,but unlike that line,there is no mistaking that you a a extremely talented poet.

    this is almost a sonnet. I like the rhyme but would like it more if it were abab instead of abba (I think) in any case, nice job and thank you for entering. The last line is beautiful.
