We give our love to the fates
Our lives we give over to destiny
I choose not in this flight of fantasy
Let the wind choose the dates
In which our eyes lock rusted upon some iron gate
Logic looks down upon us frowning jealously
We dance to the hidden strings of time if only temporarily
Who are we if not puppets to stars that choose our mate
I lay in the arms of she who chose me
She who took a hold of her own actions
Defiant of stars and Greek sisters three
Determined to fight destiny’s factions
Stand until the end or with my heart flee
Fate will have to wait for our love’s attraction.
This was from a prompt on dVerse. The prompt: I want you to write a poem about fate. How you interpret it, is up to you. I hope you enjoy!

I was not aware of the three fates, sounds so similar to the three norns from Nordic Mythology.

I was unaware of the three norns until today so we have not only enjoyed poetry we have exchanged cultures. 😁

I like the way you have gone the way of free choice instead of Fate! Very well written!

Thank you. I think we all want to believe in free will but at times wish we could just let destiny move us along.

A sonnet! A wonderful way to respond to this prompt!
I particularly like these lines:
“I lay in the arms of she who chose me
She who took a hold of her own actions
Defiant of stars and Greek sisters three”
