Ph: Echo: Love's Lost And Found Poem by Brian Johnston
Ph: Echo: Love's Lost And Found
Strange is this land that I've entered,
Yet maybe I've been here before,
Magical artist of nightfall
Paints fingers that tap on my door.
Somehow I feel strangely centered
Both ready for fight or for flight,
Drawn still to vision, sweet landfall,
No claim I have special insight.
Music of night that I'm hearing
Warns softly of dangers ahead,
Knowing that my heart is waiting
Love sweetly just slips into bed.
Ramifications I'm fearing,
All vanish like dew in this land,
Love's rose has cousins worth courting
Emotions here are never bland.
Dream's length can never be certain,
Don't worry there's never a plan,
Timetable that one must stick to,
And no one to please in your clan.
Catholic guilt's final curtain,
And Baptist restraint a mere joke,
Mormon pretense a new milieu,
God's heaven served up to plain folk.
Let's lift our glass to flight's fancy
To dreams that will never touch ground,
Dance now and howl like a dervish
And spin like a merry-go-round.
One need not serve necromancy
To value the magic in dreams,
Puritans, no longer slavish,
Rejoice in the breadth of love's themes.

Oh dear me! Whatever shall I do? Merov Tachgovirian, the only one on PH who gives anyone a 1.0 rating, doesn't like my wonderful poem. Maybe you should send him a message at the sites of Talyia Sprinkles or Jimmy Tuhans (two of his false and mulitiple ID's on PH) and tell him what you think of my poem and his opinion of it if you care about this kind of behavior on PoemHunter. Or here's an idea! Complain to the webmaster that their rating system is so vulnerable to bullys. This is our site right, not just Merov's? Let's take it back! Insist on change from the top
If you should wish to give this poem a score that your name is attached to, please do so in a comment. All non-malicious ratings will be graciously accepted and allowed to stand.
Poet's Notes:
Do a PH search for the poem that inspired my poem called 'Companion' by Lora Colon for some additional reading pleasure. Read her poem first and then mine for the Echo.
