-The mystery of your perfume
Its gentle tendrils touch my brain
There can remain
No remnant of my former gloom
My candle in the night
You chase the shadows, leaving me in light.
Redeemed, I see your radiant face
My goddess from beyond the veil
And my words fail;
You lift me to a better place.
And yet my heart is numb
My love, because you said you could not come.
I see you in the golden shafts
That warm a lazy afternoon
And know that soon
The somber hues of other crafts
Will be put on display,
And what was flecked with gold will go to gray.
The grave is cold, and youth must bend,
The weight of life too much to bear.
O鈥?hand of care
Dressed in a sleeve no one can mend,
You give to take away.
'Tis cruelty to love what cannot stay.Well, it is what is known as a madrigal, and they have been written in many ages, and they can take several distinct forms. I have written in this form, but it is not mine. Not much help, I'm afraid... Escobar, perhaps you wrote it and are testing the poets. It's a nice poem, if that is the case.Well it's not very good at any rate. Don't search too hard for the "author" -- quotes intentional.
