Legacy of Eternity

By Darren Carter

The Legacy of Eternity,
Is beyond man's reckoning.
Within the passage of time,
It lives and breathes.
Its truth lies within the spirit.
Its heart beat is of love.

Darren Carter

Born near Manchester UK I attended Upholland boarding school. From there I went into further education at Liverpool John Moores University studying fine art and art history. The journey for poetry didn’t end there. Having studied the Bible profusely for many years joining a monastery seemed inevitable and the right choice in life. It was studying & singing the Psalms that gave birth to a passion of writing poetry. I have now been writing ever since, each day and every day.

The Captured Heart

To live in a perfect dream,

Across the Aegean Sea.

Takes two loving hearts,

On a voyage of loves tragedy.

Their ship of love,

Takes them away from a tyrant King.

To a place of sweet heaven.

Where love grew like the gathering wind.

Strong and true.

Away from a lie.

A bargain, a wedding treaty

And a loveless joining.

Under a new sun,

To mark their blessed freedom.

The Goddess Aphrodite,

She gives her blessing.

On the endless sea of destiny.

The beating drum of each row of the ship.

Brings the beating heart of Paris to his worship.

The sea of destiny.

Takes us to a place,

where our love will forever live-in history.

It will forever live in the world of two in love.

We are the symbols of great love.

Let the names of our love,

Take us to a shore of loves perfect peace.

Where I will adore you,

And worship you on bended knee.

You are my Goddess of the new dawn.

A morning of our first love,

Cherished by the Gods in the heavens above.

My eyes met loves destiny.

Across the air of freedom.

Under nightfall,

We fled your kingdom.

Let destiny always proclaim,

My undying adoration for the Goddess of the Gods creation.

Your essence breathes new life into me.

My soul is on fire,

With heavenly desire.

Let us escape to our lover’s hideaway.

Hidden under the stars of the night sky.

Let our love be known by lovers’ cries.

Our love will shine in the darkness.

The eternal flame of love,

Shall always be with us.

To a shore of promises.

Let truth be the sea.

Let the wind be its spirit.

Destiny can’t hide Fates desires.

Only our love,

Will caress the fires.

Let our only wish,

Be sealed with
