The Splendor of Love

They Will Never Understand.....

The fullness of your love that forever is in my hands.
Nor the joy in my heart that lives, though we are miles apart.
People wonder, why didn’t you marry another man?
As if that Hellenic angel, can ever be replaced by another face.

I cannot think of more sadder fate.
Shallow, shallow, they understand me not! I have an eternal mate!
A symphonic joy designed by the fates.

They think I need a ring and white dress and must tie the knot?
I must give up the joy of my life that literally moves this pen?
Never! Not Even tomorrow! What a sorrow!

A fate worse than death and with poison, filled to the brim.
A daily chalice of sorrow to exist in?
I know who I am eternally committed to...
Allow me the space to be me, and please, be you!

My heart made of red roses and the finest lace.
And beats only for his embtace.
In eternity, is our home and everlasting space.
A tapestry of stars, waiting for our eager embrace!

I love how you hold your love forever in your hands Pangie. Your poem brings to mind these words from “One Song” (Snow White and the seven dwarfs)… One heart tenderly beating, Ever entreating constant and true, One love that has possessed me, One love thrilling me through, One song my heart keeps singing, Of one love only for you... Belle

Wow! Another PODT as far as I'm concerned. Magnificent! With your true, eternal love, you are in your best comfort zone, and explode onto the paper. "I cannot think of more sadder fate. Shallow, shallow, they understand me not! I have an eternal mate! A symphonic joy designed by the fates." Wow! Outstanding poetry!

Thank you Prrince de Mino. Shallow people will never get the depth of this. I made a choice to love. He did not fall into my Lap. I don’t like puppy dog dudes who adore me. Can’t stand them.I have no sparkling ring nor a dude who funds my life. That’s a cage to me, I need my freedom.you understand me...thank heavens. I am grateful and blessed to know you. You are far from shallow. PS no answer for your mail yet . Working on it, Pangie, the free!

Hello Panagiota, you feel this way because you found the right person to be with for the rest of your life. Some marriages do not last as long. Hugs xx
