The Beginning and End of Love

Has a woman ever made your head lean to one side

Has she ever made you wonder why

Has a woman ever made you go WOW in your thoughts

And before you realize

you have been talking out loud

And the one you’re with doesn’t quite understand…

Has a woman ever made you love

love so hard it hurts but feels so right

And through God’s plan she became yours that night…

I had a woman like that, who brought tears to my eyes,

from thoughts of her and how she may die,

I laid beside

and wondered why

all the questions

and all the lies

The many flowers and food I brought

To pass the time and delay the thought

To appease her mind and ease her fears

How darkness comes and time will disappear

My love is powerless but warms her soul

and that’s all she needs I pay the toll

These precious moments I won’t forget

so unsatisfying yet pleasing I will take what I can get

There was more I had to say but I’ll let you rest for awhile

But I’ll remember your glow, your essence, your smile…



Cherish… My love…

True story…

Joseph, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you so much Linda, I appreciate any criticism you have, I'm pretty much an off the cuff kind of poet and write how I feel without any type of formal teaching so I find difficulty in understanding some of the rules of the poetry contests, but I'll take a look and see if I can try some. Thanks again for the great welcome! JW
