Stand By Me

Love immortal and unchanging devotion spans the wall Over which we go exchanging our smiles with one and all

Becky and I

We seek a kind and faithful friend

devotions sweet flower

One who will stand by till the end

lighting the darkest hour

 

Love immortal thoughts exchanging

devotion scales the wall

There we share our love unchanging

with smiles for one and all

 

Her guiding hand which proves so sound

my inner soul to see

Oh may no love that's ever found

mean more than she, to me

That last stanza is poetic perfection. Immaculate. This whole piece is powerful and incredibly tender, you are so lucky to know love and to have been loved in this way... I enjoyed this poem very much, you're a remarkable writer, Tate. 1

Usually, i have seen a 'wall' being used as a metaphor for a barrier, an obstruction, inability or something unattainable. But it is the first time that i have seen someone use 'wall' to produce a positive back channel.... And that my dear, is something very novel and amazing in my reckoning.
And how do i go praising the last two lines, which kinda have an oceanic depth to em...
It's my first review after a gap of 6 months, and truth be told, I feel honored to review this wonderful piece....

This is a really great dedication for two persons who continues life together in spite of obstacles and challenges along the way. I love the way you portray their closeness to each other. Thanks for sharing!

Well said.
sure a lifelong friend in the utmost bless one would ever get in life, and loosing that friend for a reason or another is what might makes us suffer the most.
Brilliant. and I enjoyed the melody, thanks for sharing this peaceful peace :)

Shake the ground, shake the ground..... I stepped into the club...and was invisible as all eyes went to the two tandem in step confident control, and I was invisible.

A wonderful devotional piece. It warms the heart and inspires the bonds of friendship to bind tighter. Beautiful, Tate!

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” C.S LEWIS .. Great poem, i couldn't agree more.
