Love is Just a Fleeting Thing

I actually started this when I was 21, and found the paper a couple of years ago and finally finished it.

Oh, love is just a fleeting thing
Some see it as a passing fling,
While others grasp and hold on tight
With grip so hard it makes men fight

Now once the love I had for you
would make me glad but now I'm blue
for your love it no longer shines
like sun and stars 'til end of time

To heaven's gate you've gone today, 
it's here on earth where I must stay
All alone and lost I shall be
'til Gabriel's horn calls to me

Again I'll see your shining face
with hearts as one we shall embrace
Our love on earth no longer true
For love in heaven now we two

[Poet Cheryl]

You have great rhyme and flow throughout this beautifully written piece. I love the emotional journey and the touch of sadness you've given us as we read.

[FallenWingz]

what a profound piece......triggers what we all seek in love...

[Raven Starhawk]

Another enticing poem that speaks volumes of truth. I am taken by your expressions and fine them to be food for thought.
