Robert James Liguori Poet Free verse

Forever

My love…

I will love you forever.

Even when our muscles become too frail
to support our bones 
against Earth’s gravity that has given us 
many glorious days

I will love you forever. 

Even when our eyesight fails
where only our memories can recall
the beauty of youth 

I will love you forever. 

Even when our touch will weaken
bearing way to only wrinkled and rough skin

I will love you forever. 

For youth is only a state of mind
and you’ll always be young to me
my angel yet gently weathered

I will love you forever. 

And with our last sunset and breath
will crossover into a land of peace
and forever harmony together

I love you forever!

Ink Empress April 28, 2025 at 4:01 AM Dear Robert, This is such a beautiful and heartfelt poem, i also love the refrain here "I will love you forever." So raw and sincere and soulfully moving, a poem that depicts timeless love and devotion and a flame that would not dim, amidst passing seasons and age, true love no matter what will always stay strong and your poem is a reminder of that. "For youth is only a state of mind and you’ll always be young to me" so true! Pleasure reading your poem today! Sending you light today and always.
