As a captain
at forty
I do take it
you are from
the Navy

If I recall correctly
long ago
as Loved
I had read thee

You are a Romantic
poet indeed
who bases all poetry
on the pedestal
where one stood
himself

Though it's not required
naturally
poetry must have a seed
like one of a man's
but it must be
nourished
by another one
normally, like a lady
who bears
along with thee,

It so appears
you had a love
she didn't know
it was you
and
so ran after some others too

till they kicked her
then she came running to you
upon your shoulders
for sympathy and rest,

If it be so true
a poet also is you
who leads
majority into kindly light
yet with a different hue

If it so be true
a grand Neo are you
too

Addendum
With regards
from old Loved
now Lovedly
Remember me
do you....
