Poetry: Darkness Replies to Love

Hello everyone, this week I'll be again posting poetry. For this poem I decided to do a reply to both a reply to "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe, and "The Nymph's Reply" by Sir Walter Raleigh at the same time. The character itself is manifesto of Darkness and the undeniable lust that lies within all sanctions of humanity. 

Feel free to compare this compare side-by-side with the other two at the same time! Enjoy!

Darkness Replies to Love

Silly Shepherd silly Nymph,
Both of you will face your lymph,
For petty hills and pleasures fall
To mortal affairs so very small.

Your times and rocks will always fail,
To bring about love through a sail.
When I rise there shall be nothing,
Except the art Your smiting.

Flowers and roses fade in time,
Don’t worry Love it is no crime,
Little Shepherd hath no purity,
For all he wishes is your chastity.

Gowns of darkness and of sleet,
Will cover caps of icy sheets.
For Shepherds pleasure shall not move
Your desires even beneath the moon.

Alas your last reply it is thus,
Lady love I give my lust.
For Shepherd writes two more times,
To apply his every dying rhymes.

Be his love and forever see,
That darkness will cover all thy tree,
Even if ivory shall be your branch,
I shant stop your overflowing stanch.

Now little Shepherd watch your Love,
Disappear into the Niles of the trove.
Darkness falls upon thy morning,
And all will be forever mourning.
