Declarations of Love
Declarations of Love
It was a quiet moment under
the starlit skies when these beautiful
words were whispered to me:
He said,
“I declare, with sincerity, the shades
of love dwelling in my heart for thee.
A declaration of pure and serene love
for you, my dearest love.
A precious gift sent to me from the
stars above”.
And as the seasons changed, and
time moved along, in a Valentine's
Day card, he wrote:
“I pledge a love undying and
profound,
A love where emotions and feelings
know no bounds,
A Love as deep as the ocean’s depth,
where no distance or time could ever
dim the eternal flame in my heart.
A love cherished from the very start”.
And during a period of separation,
when the gossip started, doubts
came along and tried to sway.
A letter arrived, and this was what
he had to say,
“Like the mighty Oak rooted deep
and firm, I will love you until the
end and will take your name in my
last breath.
And If it were possible, I would love
you even after death”.
His words of reassurance as he was
a thousand miles away.
During the separation, my love grew
stronger and stronger, and when he
returned, I confessed my feelings,
“From this moment, I give you my
heart, for deep inside, the sweetest
of love resides, a rare treasure.
So, hold on to it, for this token of
love is beyond all measure”.
But sadly time and distance took
their toll, for in his warm brown
eyes was a coldness and nothing
of the old loving spark.
For in his eyes, I found my truth,
and at that moment we became two
strangers, and the light in my heart
just went dark.
