Turncoat (Free verse) by poetandknowit A country of men or countrymen
noble in culture and claims of good intention
allow the pen to carry such weight as to
create flight in front of their eyes
only for kindling,
and you to love your words so as to accept
fate, love your wife and wait,
maybe on the shores of the black sea
in the house they gave you to keep quiet.

Please explain the last 2 lines.
Such flowing words - though I don't completely understand it.
The touch of rhyme in the middle is used to good effect.
Is this about Ovid? I like it a lot. Come back poetandknowit, you've not been on the ranker for a long while.
