The Soulful Whisper of Love's Promise

At nineteen the tender sorrow of love’s Unrequited promise Hurts like a scream in a dark vacant night But what of the thirty something? Is not the sound Of the soulful whisper Of love’s promise to twine two hearts Torn as much by good-bye to the souls very depths? And also, what of those of other ages in loves’ grasp When the tangle of whispered promises collapse? It too is full of the anguished breath of stabbing sorrow How many times of truly loving another with passion Shall the ticking clock take in a lifetime Before the whisper of love’s forever promise Becomes the breath of a lover’s forever touch of connection? As long and as often as I have breath to speak I will endure the price for loves soulful whispering ways All for the possibility of love’s tender touch against my skin One in Four Poetry Contest Chose #1 quote "The Soulful Whisper of Love's Promise Written: 8-6-2019
