The Garden of Forgotten Shame
- The Garden of Forgotten Shame -
There was a garden watered by angels,
Who had beauty that outshone the sun!
When ages passed, desolation’s evils…
‘Twas fated would end what was begun.
When desert sands, replaced the green,
‘Twas only a small oasis didst remain…
And only by chosen eyes: was this seen.
‘Twas as fleeting as all that sandy grain!
When history, was not counted as now.
‘Twas then, that this legend didst occur,
When before old gods man didst bow…
‘Twas a goddess’s garden: only for her.
And men forgot the divinity’s fair name!
‘Twas the doom of mortals to forget so,
And why there came the heat and flame.
‘Twas so that the waters didst not flow,
Until the oasis died of mankind’s shame.
Now none remain who recall and know!

Thank you Whale! Indeed, there is great power in words and in poetry… in recalling and knowing, and in sharing what is recalled and known, whilst creating the beauty that makes one’s verses sing. I am glad that this poem of mine sang so sweetly to you! :)

It is definitely a great style for more powerful sorts of poetry. I always reserve this particular style of language for when I want to evoke a certain archaic sort of vibe that will resonate with the reader on a very deep level and bring to mind a style of poetry that is of a more ancient and intense variety than commonly seen being written today. Which is why it is absolutely perfect for writing a poem about an ancient and powerful event, tragic as that event may have been. I am very pleased that you found it enrapturing and enjoyable to read! As ever, thanks for stopping by to comment. :)
