Sure glad you regained your mind, and along with it, your talent for composing the interesting and readable!
Because of my ancestry, have been a student of ancient Gaelic, so hard to pronounce.
"A voice now flesh stands all aglow," great line. Someone emerging from a sound into a lady that sees you as a "soul amiss, and throows you a healing kiss.
Good work!

The flow of this very romantic poem is musical. The rhyming scheme helps with that. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I am a sucker for romance, and you just gave me my fix.

*s.i.g.h.*... Now, this -- this is romance in its purest form. How incredibly beautiful! The rhyme and near rhyme, the meter -- it's flawless. But best of all is the scenery your words paint in my mind, the sound! That first stanza... *s.i,g.h.*

A very moving and romantic poem... one can feel the gentleness of a song within the words. I am not a poet but I can enjoy all that you share. Well done.

Smiles, Carol

Hi Tom,
I think this is a romantic poem use allusions to Greek mythology
to lament a lost love or maybe a long distance love affair.
I like the use of song as a language of the soul. From watching "The Outlander", I can agree the Gaelic is a hard language to follow but still beautiful.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy Holidays.
Joan

Have mercy. This is absolutely gorgeous. Descriptive, clever phrasing and syntax make it flow so easily. Showcasing longing for your person's linguistic flavor is an interesting theme. Keep writing!

another masterful traditional verse on finding true love. I like the last stanza the best As now across the crystal flow
A voice now flesh stands all aglow.
She sees I stand a soul amiss
And throws me one kind blissful kiss.
