Notes About The Poem

Lady In White

All of my life
Seeking passions love
The one who was just right
Alone, it seems

Unappealing or just fright?
In solitude I would walk
The hazy path of lovers forlorn
Burying thoughts as I myself, I scorned

Love was a mist
It was there and it was not
In clouds, I was lost in loves knots
Ropes and chains, fleeing such pains

Love though has found me
She is of stone yet with a caress
An angel overlooking me
As they put me to rest

White satin coffin
Cold winter air
My angel at last
Loving with such care

Such an enthralling and artistic write arthur. Earthly love is iffy at best, everlasting, eternal love never ends and is perfect bliss always. A tender, touching, contemplative and beautifully intimate write. Warmest wishes ~Susan

An earthly love can be a gamble, Arthur! True never-ending love can be found after death! Regards // paul

Absolute love we find when God our soul embrace but still love can be found here on earth if we are ready, for our Lord has sent many souls on earth compatible with our own! Touching deep poem, beautifully done! Thank you for visiting dear, Arthur!
