True Love

A few words for my good lady wife

Let marriage be our sanctuary
peacefulness our bed,
contentment be the pillow
upon which we rest our head,
and the love we've shared these many years
be woven as a quilt,
under which, within each other's arms,
we'll share this life we've built.

I love the simplicity and beauty of this poem. Let our life be woven to get like a quilt. It is intricate and comforting. A real sentiment to true love that is lasting!! A marriage of real and honest love!

[Gee]

Thank you PB. Have been lucky enough to have been allowed to share the life of a beautiful human being

[Poetic Beauty]

That is a huge blessing!!

A lovely piece about togetherness and all the memories over the years; the best place to be with your loved one is in bed cuddled up with many pillows and the quilt you’ve shared for many years…… I always to my hubby that the bed is where I want to be remembered…. So comfortable,
Nice write Gee!
Warmly, B

[Gee]

Using an old-fashioned word here: charming! You have a way of holding your love for your darling in a genuine but no-nonsense simplicity, Gee. But, oh my, it means more than a starry, starry night! I wanted to choose a quote from your poem, but there's not one line that stands alone, the love is tied together line after line.
Precious.

[Gee]

Good morning, hope all is well with you. This must be one of the first poems I posted on this site, seems so, so long ago.
Thank you for unearthing

[emmajoygreen]

Good morning, Gee - bright and already stormy hot - dog and I already walked! I like to go into friends' older writing, that way often find 'changes or sames' over passing time. Hope all's well with your and your darlings.

This is so sweet! Heartfelt and caring for each other. Thank you for sharing.

[Gee]

Thank you Temp

[Temperance]

Sighhh*
Perfect title.🥂

Well, Gee,
I've written my share of love poems, but none so pure and genuinely heartfelt as yours to thy dear, sweet wife.
I hope she read it with tender tears in her eyes and love swoons in her heart.

I should read more of your romantic pieces … thanks for the lovely share! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Gee]

Thank you :)

[Richard🖌]

Nice poem.

[Cherrie]

You get a gold star.
Simple, romantic, heartfelt. The perfect blending.

Journalists write from intellect. Fiction writers from the imagination. But a poet writes from him (or her) soul.

[Gee]

Probably the first(and last) gold star I'll ever get:)
Thank you Cherrie.
This is one of the few poems that my wife has read

[Cherrie]

Well you have to hide them around the house. In pockets, by a toothbrush... that's what I do. :)

[M. J. Smith]

A most beautiful and romantic piece...
I'm sure she cried when she read it.

[Gee]

Good morning, she liked :)) as did a few of her close friends.
Not many folk are aware that I dabble in this poetry lark, lads at work would crucify me :)

[M. J. Smith]

Yeah, somewhere along the line, writing became synonymous with women and young people. "Real" men don't write poetry.. ( Blowing raspberry)
Nicely done.

[Singleton La Tour]

Very beautiful and nicely written.

[Gee]

Thank you :)

[Mrudula Rani]

Your poem is a perfect declaration of love. You know that she loves you and you adore her. Happy Valentine's Day, dear Gee.

[Gee]

Thank you. We do cards but nowt else as we know we love each other to bits :))
Are you showered with gifts and flowers Mrudula ???
Thanks for dropping in, hope you are well :)))

[Mrudula Rani]

We are all fine. It's always a pleasure visiting you, Gee.
