Romantic Love

Soulmate love has more depth than romance sought;
soft maternal shades or hints paternal
mix heat with romantic degrees when caught
to seemingly pulse love beats eternal.

Love gilds the crux of each other's story,
wears no false masks, fears or acts of pretense
and seeks only a two person glory
through both the ordinary and intense.

Love seeks to raise the other's precious smile,
promotes their dreams with sincere, constant flare,
remains steadfast clasp through any trial
as all rifts are heart shifts towards growths fare.

Love instincts link to achieve hearts merged strong
and increase that bond when two love life long.

This is so true, CayCay. The deepest love "bares all and forgives all". I especially like the 2nd verse and the lines, "...seeks a two person glory through the ordinary and the intense...". Good luck in the contest too.
