Like No Other

Before the future and after the past We have found each other’s souls at last In the beat of a heart I was able to see The rest of my life belonged to thee When our eyes met it wasn’t a glance Locked together in a forbidden trance For we had each given up on love And being forgiven by Lord above We were forever lost and on the run Burying our pain by having our fun Children scattered from here to there As we stayed so high we didn’t care We each knew when you come down You lose your mask and face the clown And that was something we couldn’t do Until the day you met me and I met you Unplugging the phone we locked the doors I told you my sins and you told me yours The people in our life just couldn’t believe We found in each other the strength to leave To change our fate was quite the chore But there was noting we each wanted more My children love you and yours love me Because we have melted into one family I wrote this poem because I want you to know You beat with my heart and live in my soul You have always been way more than my lover You’re the friend I found who is like no other

I do feel blessed, also, for my husband of 17 years is clean one year, one month, and 7 days now. A lot of my poetry is pain over his addiction but also hope for his recovery before he found it and the love I've had for him through it all. It's hard for the poet, I think, to believe his/her poem does his muse justice, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.I'd love to talk more..if you care to..

This is an exceptional piece. It spells out what love is really all about. Sticking through thick and thin is the cement that binds the sands of time. The rhyming couplets are excellent. The theme of the poem is what couples should all be about. Great job! ~Joseph
