Our love is like a fine work of art I find joy with you in all we do. For the rest of my life, I know all I'll want is to be next to you. "My love is like a red, red rose..."* is a line from the pen of a poet. It's not from a sad tale of woes for when love is real, you know it. I hang on to each word you say of love. I pray we'll both hold fast. Come and lie down next to me for a time so we can make it last. I don't need time to wait on fate or to help me be sure of how I feel. Take my hand and walk with me. Oh, my love, what we have is real. Let's talk of us from now on as 'we.' I want to kiss your lips, open and soft, hear you sigh when you look in my eyes. I ache to be with you so very oft. I'd be rich, tho now I am but poor, to gaze upon your face each morn. I'll not ever wish for more than that for the love we bear has been born. Time has no way to hold us back. I know deep down in what is my soul that we have a one-of-a-kind love that both of us vow will ne'er grow old. *'My Love is a Red, Red Rose' by Robert Burns

Lin, Conformed so well to the four in 'This Love We Share', yet your words flow free as a leaf in unrestricted flight. Very nice creation to read, though perhaps not so easy in the creating. Wishes for a lovely Sunday. -Richard

Wow! Lin, You have penned such a well-written love poem. I found it to be sensual and passionate. To experience a love so real and true would be such a blessing. Best wishes in the contest.Is there anything you can’t write? You excel in all the forms. I enjoyed the read. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Alexis, you always bring a bit of sunshine to my day with your comments. It was a challenge to write a love poem and be limited to only using words of four letters or less, so I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. I've notebooks full of unfinished poems, so I guess there's quite a bit I fail at writing. Have a great Sunday, sweet friend.
