If We Must Part

If we must part my love...let it be like this; arouse me with a subtle caress, Intoxicate me … leave me a drunken fool in love. ~ If we must part, do not leave me in early morning’s shrouded haze, still enslaved on the fringes of night’s sleep... if we must part. ~ If we must part, let it be walking hand in hand on serenity’s shore, as the moonlight dances ‘cross an unruffled sea. Say no words to me… let eyes to soul speak; for mere words are impotent where love resides. ~ Remember the hush between our lips… the oath of our consummation; cherish the stillness my love... if we must part. ~ Say you'll return to me, and all will be as it was... even if the words are untrue, say it is so...my love... If we must part. ~

Hello again Nicole,I also enjoyed this love poem. Parting is difficult no matter what month or year it is. I read a lot of love poems from other poets. I enjoy them.

Nicole; This is a beautiful love poem. I hope you never have to part from the one you love. If I had to part from someone - I want it to be in December, so I won't have to start the new year with the same love. Love the poem. Have a blessed day... Lucilla
