Love Poem: Renee

Renee

shall i love a maiden fair

whose favor i'll not see

or will she grant within her heart

a special place for me



i take no lead in this affair

but follow her desires 

quiet patience tames my beating heart

engulfed in passioned fire



love, reciprocated love

it cries from deep inside

not guaranteed for one like me

brings tears i cannot hide



she is worth the chance i take

i feel she is the one

with arms outstretched my offered heart

for her to take and own



she and time shall both decide

the future of our lives

be separate or two as one

bears fear and hope to thrive



must this love be muted as

a silent castaway

until the time when she'll confess

her love for me one day



i can only hope and dream

until that day is come

i pray the Lord to give me strength

when all is said and done
