It Can Go EitherWay

It Can Go Either Way

Your beauty proceeds every

Image of Eve

Were stronger now than

Ever we’ve been

Forgiveness and honesty 

Time has shown is the key 

To reclaiming our life

Or just delusional dreams

You know that we crave 

The very same things

Bound together forever with

Infatuation and glee

Our lives filled with love

Devotion and peace

Two soul mates entwined

Or am I still in the dream

The intensity of love is 

Is a souvenir of a life

Its a spectacular infusion

Of emotions inside

But at times lovers’ quarrel

Swiftly getting out of hand

Plodding with pace to arrivals

Waiting for heartache to land

 

You’re my Juliet of romance

With the keys to my soul

My Peter Pan of dreams

They will never grow old

Mistakes of the past

Just made in such haste

They’re just lessons in life

Paving new roads that we take

The roads that will hopefully

Lead back to our dreams

And not to a cross roads

We didn’t foresee 

The love that we have

Forever will be

Weather we live it in harmony

Is still to be seen

I will cherish and adore you

Beyond the rest of my days

You’re unique and so special

In every which way

Two kindred spirits

Still together when apart

Where left with these choices

One will tear us apart

We can stay together forever

And take the advice of Al Green

Or block out our love

And just live with the pain

I hope we do realise

Before it’s too late

The blissful life we can have

Shear contentment again

You’re my Juliet of romance
With the keys to my soul
My Peter Pan of dreams
They will never grow old
Mistakes of the past
Just made in such haste
They’re just lessons in life
Paving new roads that we take

The wisdom in these lines is priceless. Makes me think of a transition from immaturity to maturity, where "lessons" are actually learned and acted upon to make positive improvements. But I always think of "love" not being rational and the craziest of decisions are made due to the levels of emotion involved.

A beautiful write, rich in feeling and aspirations. Penny

This is very nice. A heartfelt message beautifully conveyed with raw emotion and creative use of language.
There are a few spots that felt a little "off" in the flow, but overall was pleasant... Also did you mean Whether we live it in harmony instead of weather?
