About This Poem

WHEN ALWAYS I SAY

WHEN ALWAYS I SAY  
 

You posed the question, 
My dear,
What “always” means
When I say, You, 
I love.

Since 
Answer unable was 
I to give,
My soul that had spoken the word,
I asked and
Instantly 
The answer came, from
The depths of depths
Of her heart,

“By always” she said,
“This is what I mean, 
To love her: 
From dawn till dusk
From January to December
From the cradle to the grave to 
The beyond and then to
Dawn again!"

     “How Long is Your Always”

    This is very lovely, Demetrios. I'm glad that my poem inspired you to write these beautiful lines. You surely have a clear view of the understanding of ALWAYS! :)

    This is great. I never thought of this before. It makes sense. I also wonder - How long is long? Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
