Ian Black's video: Poetry Reading - To Love And Be Loved

To Love And Be Loved My blood is forfeit, the sweat of my brow, My tears attendant to your joy and pain; Your dreams await me in my slumber now, Your visions and my own become the same. No longer wandering in search of home, Nor grimly craving the return to dust; Alone I penned the preface of this tome, But every chapter hence belongs to us. To keep you safe, or just to make you smile, There are no dragons I would fear to slay; If you should wound me, I would reconcile, Resolved to love you ’til my dying day. And I would follow you across the seas, Or into hell… …If you would fight for me. https://ianblackpoet.wordpress.com/2020/06/18/to-love-and-be-loved/ Poem Poetry Reading Author Former Professional Poet Ian Stewart Black Shakespearean Sonnet Simple Honest Elegant To Love And Be Loved Rhyme Rhyming Couplet Quatrain Verse Stanza Verses Stanzas Traditional Classical June Unrequited Contract Deal Equality Fairness Lies Abuse Betrayal Toxic Manipulative Gaslighting Sociopath Ghosting Ghosted By Someone Who Promised To Stay Forever Ghost I Gave You My Heart And Soul Give And Take Relationship Breakup Break-up Love Loss Grief Pain Marriage Future Past Present Relationship Relationships Promises Disappointment Hope Scotland Scottish Accent Voice Audio Original Content Kitten Wolf Other Half Glasgow Dumfries 23 23rd March 2020 23 6 6th July 1992 Plans Prospects Discord Meeting Reddit Moon Proposal Fighting Never Giving Up On Someone You Love Forlorn Unrequited Love English Student Degree I Would Have Gone With You To The End Into The Very Fires Of Mordor
