Notes About The Poem

Forever Entwined In Love


The first time, I saw my love it was a moment in time,
      It was a spiritual experience and I was swept away;
I abandoned myself to this perfect head-spinning love,
            Obsessive musings, like an addict with mood swings.

It was more than his physical attractiveness for me,
      I was lost in a dream of a forever, ever beautiful love;
Falling for him was like falling into a crystal clear stream,
            I dreamed again and again of our precious moments.

I was an emotional wreck, who could not sleep or even eat,
      My heart beat faster when he was even just talking;
When we were apart, I was full of longing and anxiety,
            Falling in love is very bizarre, it creeps up magically.

Soon our lifes were entwined and we were deeply bonded,
      Coated with desire, respect and a genuine courtship;
I let go of expectations and overlooked all his negative,
          He was my lover, my friend and my companion always.

We never crowded each other, we both had an outside life,
      With our own interests and friends, our eyes never roamed;
Sadly, we buried a child on our journey and that made us stronger,
            He took this weeping girl that was me and I was healed.

Then, the unimaginable happened, my love was taken away,
      Another path was written for him and I was left far behind;
I only find my love down a winding path in a place of tears,
            His name engraved in cold stone for all of eternity.

But, my love for him endures and will never, ever dissipate,
      Our bond is endless, and I know he waits beyond the clouds;
It is a love that even death cannot destroy, and it will go on and on,
            And in my dreams, he lives still, quiet, gentle and strong.

Perfectly depicting true love and greatest loss! Romance and life do not always live together until both pass on in old age. Yet the future promise holds the tie that gives Hope eternity rectifies earthly tragedies! Awesome poem. A7
