Poetry from the Generations 

Pantoum of Romance
by Nancy Ness

Beveiled, thou Phantom of Romance ~
Ensconced behind a cryptic door.
Might thresholds cross by happenstance,
Entrancing hearts forever more?

Unshackle now that cryptic door
Thence leave behind life's remnant scar.
Unfettered lives forever more,
Enchanting muse sung from afar.

No longer wield life's garish scar -
Embrace free spirit - ne'er eschew
Those songs of romance once afar -
Enravish reverie anew.

Life's bygone languish now eschew.
Embrace embroiling senses of
Awakened reverie anew.
Entreat now hearts imbued in love.

Arousing senses bested of
Once covetous feigned sanctity.
Entreat hearts e'er imbued in love
And cherish regaled ecstasy.

Entrust in realms of sanctity.
Stars crossed are not mere happenstance;
Enclave love's arcane ecstasy -
Unshrouded, Phantom of Romance.
