"The Instinctive Romantic"

The instinctive Romantic,
lives life like a dream.
Surprise his chief pleasure,
and Beauty his queen

He yet sees the magic
of the mountains and sea.
And a flying priest's chair,
he'll toast with fine mead!

Round the ocean Atlantic,
he wanders unseen.
Discovery his business,
yet his home is his means!

Sometimes he runs frantic,
his face long and lean,
but its never his measure,
for he laughs in between!

Oft lonely and tragic,
but always quite keen,
to fly through the air
or jump in a stream!

Oh adventurous antics,
and a boast unforeseen...
Rediscovered the lessons
of the Apostolic See!

And so I shall pray,
lest I become quite the manic,
Oh Lord, may I say,
make me an instinctive Romantic!

Introduction:

Hello,

"The Instinctive Romantic" is actually the title of a piece of poetry I wrote some time back, but I felt it would serve fairly well as the title for my more casual blog as well, since it accurately depicts my own nature as a Romantic, and one who can only claim to be so through an instinct towards Romanticism.

This will be the place where I post my musings and writings that aren't specifically related to apologetics, including samples of my poetry and excerpts from my books. If you are more interested in my apologetics writing, please check out my other blog, The Unread Apologist.

See you around!
