Through the Eyes of Love

~ for the one who will always have my heart ~

Of all the countless things I will remember

it’s the way you loved me just as I am

You kissed me with closed eyes and yet you saw

all that is and all that I am

 

Broken and tattered, fragile in a storm

that brewed in shadows gray upon the clouds

 ‘til you released the rainbow colored hue

of beauty once in disarray

 

You rose to me as gently as the tide

with love as deep and peaceful as the sea

and reaching for you now you’re swept away

still the greatest love somehow stays

 

Bound and tethered to you, we still breathe

on winds of warmth that tease away the rain

on seabirds songs that fill the tender place

where my heart beats  only for you

 

Through setting suns and twilight painted dreams

and misty dawns in soft lavender blue

may it be your memory that keeps me here

missing you, yet there’s serenity

 

Yes, I believe in angels, for with your love

I found strength I never knew, but perhaps

you saw it when you kissed me with closed eyes

all that is and all that I am

That's a very strong outspoken piece...great job! It's funny how love can give us so much to talk and write about, huh? It's such a strong subject and I'm sure I'm not the only one that can say that too. You picked a great subject to talk about, my friend! Sorry I was late about reading and reviewing your work, but I guess it was worth the wait! Great writing and keep on writing! Hopefully you'll get the time to go and check out my work too!

"You rose to me as gently as the tide
with love as deep and peaceful as the sea
and reaching for you now you’re swept away
still the greatest love somehow stays" - I saw the waves of love sweep to the beach here and then as they receded that shadow that they leave on the sand was evident and it only takes but a tiny bit of pressure on the sand to see the sea ensconsed below, rise to the top - our footprints can make this happen as we walk along the shore of life.

This is the most haunting of your poems Julie but seriously imbued with love throughout.
Thanks for sharing

Julie, reading your work is like sitting in the sunshine, with a cool breeze blowing. Your form of romanticism is always warm and calming; soothing. "Bound and tethered to you, we still breathe" This is may favorite line. the only one I'd touch is the second one I do not believe you need the qualifier as you give that to use throughout the poem and "with your eyes shut", so I'd strike the "just as I am" It just felt a little redundant. That said, with or without the change this is a beautiful romantic tribute. Thank the heavens that we are given men who are like this, not all are so lucky. ~Jan

A beautiful poem about love. As always there that sensual atmosphere in your rhymes. In this poem here there's also a touch of sadness but it's painted with tenderness and blessed with eternal love. Thanks for sharing. :) Rudi

oh, miss jewel; you do write a dandy love poem

I'm new to this site and you're poem was the first thing that I've read so I'm a little nervous about commenting, but I will anyway. I just wanted to say that I loved the imagery in this poem- I liked the whole thing but that's what really made this so wonderful for me. It was subtle in a way that reminded me of the tender moments you have when you're in love. I feel like the whole poem has that feel to it actually. I guess that's all I have to say...

I am so drawn to this poem as I feel that it comes from a place of truth and sincerity. I cry for many of my friends and loved ones, cheated of this experience, based on their, or their partners life trials. Good Work, Barbz

a lovely poem of redemption...to be loved for who we are...there is strength to be felt when one loves us like this...once broken does not mean we have to stay that way.

Thank you for your kind comment Jacob :) Julie
