What Should a Love Story Be

What should the perfect love story be?
Maybe about the future or past history

Maybe the story should just be about today
If it were your final breath what would you say?

The Lord is the maker and the keeper of time
He is the giver of love and all that’s divine

How can any love story not involve him?
The keeper of truth, the forgiver of sin

Jesus Christ is the father and I am but a seed
Regardless of the path I shall follow his lead

I praise God for the pain that hinders my way
For it truly does offer plenty of time to pray

The more that I pray the more clearly I see
Exactly what a perfect love poem should be

It should be hot as the desert, beautiful as the snow
Born way deep in the heart so it can forever glow

It should speak the honest truth about your dearest friend
How the strength of your love helped each of you to mend

The story should be of two lovers, bound by the soul
Yet each is has the freedom to leave, if they wish to go

You see true love was truly intended for us to caress
Tell me, “How can an unseen entity ever be possessed”

Love is a part of your heart and a part of your soul
So please caress it, bless it and make it your goal

And that’s what a true love poem is really about
Cherishing each others love through all the doubt

I hear you Mike. Well I'd like to hear you but you make it sound so easy... I don't praise God for the pain that hinders me. I grab my imaginary knife and start hacking away at all my enemies in my mind. Not in real life mind you, all just thoughts but very dark and not so loving thoughts. I'd love to gloss over those and focus only on the loving but that's just not in the cards right now. I wish you only the best my friend. Good luck with your searching. I'll see you around. -Yoni

Wow what a powerful piece. You do have a way with words. I enjoy reading your work also. I will definately let you know when everything is completing. Can I tell you my side is an extension of "Healing Through Poetry". I took the title from a comment you made concerning my life experience and the poems that you reviewed.
