The Love Letter

I long to write a love letter, Cupid's counsel stands ready to dictate, I raise my pen, the page agrees To accept the words, yet I hesitate What do I fear, why this concern, And what strange motive has planted this seed? Suddenly, tender loving words Fly straight from my heart to intercede My mind is filling rapidly, It's as if a string of pearls has broken, Only with a faltering voice Could such deep emotions be spoken Yet, I cannot lower my pen, What cruel spirit restrains my trembling hand? How shall my feelings be conveyed So my beloved will understand? My beloved..... a title unclaimed, On his face, an impenetrable mask, My mind searches his name in vain While Fate laughs and mocks this daunting task But it's done! The words are written, With a sense of relief long overdue, Then reality shakes my world...... I've no one to send my letter to!
