Scrolls of Time

As the sands of time pour through the glass Trials will come and they will pass As these trials come and go It can be hard for love to grow Often at night I close my eyes And fight the tears I want to cry Is it not true that through my words Tears of love can be heard As these tears start to flow Through the essence of my soul I let them melt my prison mask And fade to memories of the past In those memories it’s clear to see With you is where I long to be I feel I'm changing every day Through the things I write and the words I say Across all these miles, through the walls and doors Your love the waves, my heart the shore I can feel our love as it grows Into but a single soul Your name right next to mine They are etched into the scrolls of time

That was about the most heartfelt poem I have ever read. Are you that open in real life? If so, do you give lessons? lol I love couplets, as u can see by most of my poetry, and this is going in my favorites. Love, Ivy

Michael, this is a wonderful read. The couplet style kept great rhythm and the words were clear and all came together well to express your thoughts. Very well written. Michael
