Eternal Love

The world,in touch with one another Mends with thoughts of lifeless lovers And first love begins with the love of father and mother And as we age and mold, we learn to love each other As moments of fleeting love, feelings cast like stones in water Still can live and grow, until the stones grow into boulders And you could see the magic forming, fitting And you learn to know that love is different for every being Lonely roses, and withered Chrysanthemums The soil beneath their feet, crest that sends them on A human being who’s mind is fleeing to imagination’s second sun And somewhere another one’s heart longs for a different kind of one And two worlds so far apart, and unlike anyone before Or since, reminiscent of love that was loved long, long ago A love that brought them into this world and let them learn to let love grow For love was only on this Earth to give ourselves a sense of soul And if we’re only here for each other, to help each other from getting cold And not having the touch of another person’s love before getting old It’s a love that can’t put into words It’s a love that only comes from being torn And put together from greater force than anyone Though we try to learn about it, we can’t escape it’s clutching touch But be not afraid for it’s the greatest lift to ever have known And if you think you’ll never find it, just think about it happening to everyone Make your love that’s internal Blended hearts, eternal and new Until you’re one, no longer two And make the love that has a few It’s a love that can only become eternal

You could write with Lord Byron, Wm Shakespeare, Eliz Barrett Browning. And so many of the romantic dreamers, poets, writers of their day. Give a woman a single red rose, a box of Godiva chocolates. But to write a sonnet for her well as Shakespeare put it so eloquently in Hamlet: " TO THINE OWNSELF BE TRUE"
