Notes About The Poem
Author's Notes: "You Told Me Never Again My Love," is a Rhymed Couplet I wrote and set in a mixed meter. I wrote this poem to address a very important facet of "love" as a "most sacred trust between two people." I wrote this as an artistic thought piece and it should not viewed as autobiographical. However, having been married now for nearly 25 years has at least given me some perspective on certain pitfalls that can make life and being married, at times, to be indeed challenging. What I've attempted to sketch out in this scenario between a couple who have been traditionally in love, is a sense of the difficulty and complexity that can befall any couple when seeds of doubt and certain strife present themselves in any relationship. I can certainly attest, even with the best of intentions, many of us can fall short of our goals and desires -- and this also can end up being a thread of realism in many relationships. Such is the challenge that any couple may face when they share the most sacred trust of love between one another -- for life with a true-found love is one that must renewed and nurtured year by year!! Something to think about!! (Gary Bateman - October 25, 2015) (Rhymed Couplet)

You Told Me Never Again My Love
You Told Me Never Again My Love
Love’s a most sacred trust between two people meant forever,
And yet you treat it, at times, as a sham and forever is never.
The bond of love is considered sacred in God’s very eyes,
And you should know dear one—that God tells us no lies.
My thoughts and feelings for you are beyond earthly measure,
And the love we share is quite special and always to treasure.
You once told me you would never again ever doubt me,
And yet I’ve found your doubt is back now to haunt me.
Love’s that infinitely complex and most perplexing emotion;
Its mysterious power is the very alchemic force of its motion.
And so my love, it’s time now for us to seize once again our life,
And to renew all that’s special between us, and not just the strife.
You told me never again my love, and say I the same to you my dear,
For life with a true-found love is one we must nurture year by year.
