 The Last Love Poem

 

If this were the last love poem ever written

it would be for you, my love

and the rain…

 

falling softly on the roses

 

I fell too

for your eyes,

 pools of liquid moonlight

and your kisses,

whispering of rainbows forevermore

 

Yes, if this were the last love poem ever written

it would be for you…

 

and the rain

I really enjoy this poem, I love the hyperbole of the last love poem, I love the importance it gives itself to say that the object of the speakers affection would be it, the absolute last. You have a lovely way with words, and I like your word placement. Well done!

The title dragged me in too. I thought this was gong to be a sad read but the sensuality and imagery in this touched me. Beautifully penned, Julie.

So simple yet so beautiful. When I read the title, I didn't know what the poem would be about, but as I read, I couldn't help but be swept away by your wonderful words. I love how the title tricks the reader into thinking it's quite literally your last love poem (but I knew that couldn't be so) but the piece itself builds on that in an unexpected way. I also like the subtle symbolism in how the falling rain represents the beauty of falling in love. Lovely work!

This is a romantic tangle of imagery that feels like it's tumbling & dripping along thru the revelations. When I read the title, quite honestly, I was wondering what ambitious statement this might be? I mean, the set-up is such that we expect something very "TA!DA!" But then this playful sensuous scrambled little ditty spills out & makes much more sense than any high-minded love pronouncement could be! You help teach me about being purposefully inadvertent.

What comes after the rain...? I suppose nothing, nothing but the echo of a ghost of love... Liquidly penned...

It was so pleasing to read. I liked the sentence If this were the last love poem ever written it would be for you and the rain.
