love

Love suffers long and is kind;

When beleaguered again and again,

By dark smoking clouds and piercing lightning

And it seems all euphoria disappears as if a curling fog-

Remember the joy of this day- which points

To the joy yet to come.

Love does not envy;

Love is as opposite to envy as the baroque fragrance of wildflowers is

To the vulgar scent of smoke from a fire.

Some days may not be dulcet and pleasant,

But reminisce this day that you have finally got each other.

Let thankfulness fly in your souls and take rest

In the golden nest of love.

Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

At those times when the world seems to have heaped

On your laps, so much sunshine and halcyon happiness that you feel

Indeed like an authority- a well weathered rock amidst the flailing

Waves of the sea called earth�" look around at the majestic nature.

Glimpse the rolling hills, the crimson poppies, the stained glass picture of a sunset.

That will be enough.

Love does not dishonor others, does not seek its own,

The tight knot of love forever tied between

Your hearts, binds you persistently to the promise of

Selflessness. Forever together. Always for each other.

Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs;

Quickly catch each stack of dusty bitter thoughts,

Tie them to a red balloon. Let them float away forever.

A glittering rainbow of orbs- blended in with the melting sun.

A beautiful sight. A peace beyond compare.

Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

Love the truth, obey it then. And in your life be genuine, be yourself.

With each action, speak of your love- with each thoughtful touch

Send a message through your pulsing veins, and it will appear like a

Beautifully painted sign in your starry eyes.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love each other deeply with commitment- defending

Each other’s hearts like a rare jewel, safe, guarded, loved.

Even when the winter months shower you with snow, hope in

The joy set before you- preserver.

Love never fails.

Beautiful poem! I love how took the lines from 1Corinthians 13 and expanded upon. I think your use of rhythm was also very well done. I give it a 95/100.
