Glorious love.

Love can make us feel like kings and love can make us feel like a pauper.

                           Glorious love.

We danced and learned true laughter at the small lake,
than we forgot the glorious dances and nights when we held each other so tightly.
We believed we were invincible.

Once two people whispered secret words and dreams into the deepen part of the night.
Where lovers can be free in words and in desire.

Somewhere sweet and passionate love decayed with time.
We tried to hold on with resonance of a precious love and sweet kisses.

The old feather bed we shared.
Hold the smell of sweet perfume.
Lost clothing left hidden in secret places to remind me of sweet words
and beautiful faces.

Beauty and sweet dreams is but a flower.
Time will devour the flower leaving only disdain and wishes.

Glorious love have forsaken me.
The effort to pursuit a repeat of the symphony of true love.
Can leave us in a vigil wishing to taste and touch.
To be whisk away kind and tender memories.

I know you can't return to the innocent of youth.

I wish to be young in heart. Hear the purr of a woman whispering sweet words.
Swim in the heat of the flesh and not be afraid of the ending.

Beautiful poem.It describes love so precisely. When you find it or it finds you hold on and enjoy the ride Don't take love for granted because before you know it its gone. This poem describes love in a way that you can feel the emotions,feelings,thoughts and experiences that love gives us. Very well penned.i really enjoyed this.

A series of beautiful memories revolve in your poetry which have an elegant touch; such pieces are nowhere to be found.. Loved reading it!

Lovely sentiments penned here, nice to know love never grows old...although bodies do, life gets busy and somethings may go by the wayside at times...but memories never fade especially when one takes them out and enjoys them every so often.

This is straight truth sir in all its beauty and awkwardness and fear. I hear the woman purring my friend and then you hit me with the last line. Incredible write.

[Vani Jalagar]

awesome.........expressing sweet memories...i just loved it...thank you for such a fabulous writing.

the title alone makes us think as we read along i asked a question - what is most Glorious - to be forever young or be love enternally by someone you love so dearly... for me i choose the second one, being young doesn't last forever but being loved last longer and almost eternal...

a great piece my friend!
