 Oh Love! Throb and thrill of my life
  Why you desert me in my strife?
   Why stay far, giving no delight?
    Don't fade like a symphony sweet.

 Won’t you come near and ease my pain
  Can’t you see me in sorrows lain?
   Be with me as my guiding sprite
    Don't fade like a symphony sweet.

 Help me set goals when I am dull 
  Hold hand when I'm about to fall
   Infuse strength when I face defeat
    Don't fade like a symphony sweet.

 Make me happy when I’m in gloom 
  From silence, what should I assume?
   Please don't be stubbornly quiet.
    Don't fade like a symphony sweet.

My dearest Valsa, what a beautiful love poem to someone you love and think so highly of. If true what a lucky person they are to have you in their lives. 'Make me happy when I'm in gloom .....From silence, what should I assume.... Please don't be so stubbornly quiet.' An excellent entry, i love rhyming therefore I so enjoyed yours. Good luck. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, Jennifer.

Incredibly sweet and profound. I would have given it a try, but my rhyming is atrocious. Best for a win, dear Valsa.

This is beautiful, Valsa:) just a heads up - Joseph requires exact rhyme, I think there's a particular rhyme scheme needed for this contest...

The expression of love, gives the souls wings, and a never-ending span of Light. Why so easy for some...and like pulling teeth from others. If for a contest, very well, poetically said. Best of luck.
