Upon Chaucer's pillow I rest my head, <br />And off his table I eat my meat and bread, <br />As he does, so too I command Mars at will; <br />Yielding an angelic tongue my only skill. <br /> <br />Upon Shakespeare's robe I take my hold, <br />The cloth of which is spurn of gold. <br />Of his standard few can stand so high, <br />But on my word, I promise to draw nigh! <br /> <br />Upon David's kingdom I place my rod, <br />And in doing so, I do the will of God, <br />With him as my muse, I'll show His heart. <br />I will follow His way, without second thought. <br /> <br />Like Shelly, my Adonis is for my brother, <br />Yet not the one who's dead, but the other: <br />That he will see daylight on the ‘morrow. <br />My prayer is that he does not see sorrow. <br /> <br />Like Samson, my strength doesn't come from man, <br />And the enemy's defeat is my undying plan. <br />So too, if by my acts I seal off His power, <br />I pray that it will return in the most vital hour. <br /> <br />Like Solomon, wisdom is all that I want, <br />Even then love is the only thing I shall flaunt, <br />That the Lord would find abode in my temple, <br />For above all I wish to be His example. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inspiration-118/
