Gotta love - reversible poem-POTD

Love’s journey, joy and tears,
Guided by grace through all the years.
Gotta love, in every guise,
Each chapter cherished, beneath the skies.

True love with God, tranquil and pure,
Promises eternal, pristine and sure.
Divine devotion, a destined delight,
Faithful forever, in the Father's light.

Memories murmur, melancholy in pairs.
Gone is the glow, a grievous gap glares,
Whispered words weep, wounds within deep.
Separation's sorrow, shadows silently sweep.

Tender touches, time transcends too soon.
She sings softly, serenades under the moon,
Laughter lingers long, lovely in twilight.
Living with love, life's luminous light.

Heartbeats hasten, hopes held high, hues of blue.
In anticipation, ardor awakens anew,
Gotta love the glowing gaze, a girl's gentle bloom.
Glimpses of grace in the gathering gloom.

' True love with God, tranquil and pure, promises eternal; pristine and sure. ' Very comforting, indeed. Your words are beautiful, tender, romantic and spiritual, all at the same time. A challenge creating a reversible poem, as I have done so before. Overall, it's a fun experience. Well done, Jay. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

WOW! Kudos to you! I have rarely read such a flowing, emotional, spiritual, brilliant alliteration smoothly presented! Now you are inspiring me to try one! "Whispered words weep, wounds within deep" "Heartbeats hasten, hopes held high, hues of blue" - these, and so many complete lines of alliteration along with the depth of the theme, amazed me. Thank you, Jay, for creating such a masterpiece. It's a beauty! Adding to FAVES. Congratulations!
