A Thousand Times Over

from a challenge on A Poet's Haven Saturday Night Romance "Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower." - Les Miserables, Victor Hugo She had away about her She was born with a gift And oh could she use it She commanded attention Everyone took notice She was made from Stardust In a perfect combination We met before Terra was born And each time we met again Her lips will quiver as they have A thousand times over When the morning is young The curtains will be drawn The doors will be locked Her mask will come off Her eyes will water As the memories flow And the joy of a love That can not be ended As Stars have imploded And still our love lives Death has come A thousand times over And still her lips quiver When our eyes cross The way it did That very first time And so it shall As our souls have Crossed and shall Again and again The love we share Has sustained us A thousand times over

AweSOmE write, AlaN... I like how it was inSpireD and a challEnGe,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"
