Declarations of Love

Declarations of Love

It was a quiet moment under 
the starlit skies when these beautiful
 words were whispered to me:

He said,
“I declare, with sincerity, the shades 
of love dwelling in my heart for thee.
A declaration of pure and serene love
for you, my dearest love.
A precious gift sent to me from the
 stars above”.

And as the seasons changed, and 
time moved along, in a Valentine's 
Day card, he wrote:
“I pledge a love undying and 
profound,
A love where emotions and feelings 
know no bounds,
A Love as deep as the ocean’s depth,
where no distance or time could ever 
dim the eternal flame in my heart.
A love cherished from the very start”.

And during a period of separation, 
when the gossip started, doubts 
came along and tried to sway.
A letter arrived, and this was what 
he had to say,
“Like the mighty Oak rooted deep 
and firm, I will love you until the
 end and will take your name in my 
last breath. 
And If it were possible, I would love
you even after death”.
His words of reassurance as he was 
a thousand miles away.

During the separation, my love grew 
stronger and stronger, and when he 
returned, I confessed my feelings,
“From this moment, I give you my 
heart, for deep inside, the sweetest 
of love resides, a rare treasure.
So, hold on to it, for this token of 
love is beyond all measure”.

But sadly time and distance took
their toll, for in his warm brown 
eyes was a coldness and nothing 
of the old loving spark.
For in his eyes, I found my truth,
and at that moment we became two 
strangers, and the light in my heart
just went dark.

This is a good read about a silver tongued poet friend who has little loyalty. It reminds me of a long divorce, the waiting for what? I enjoyed the clever rhyme, steady meter, and deep meaning.
