Calm Love

A feeling of pure contentment ...

An ocean of calm surrounds me

The ripples of life are stilled

My mind is awash with sweet moments

With you as I feel so fulfilled

No more the panic of storms

Becalmed in a love deep and pure

My oars just glide on the water

As my happiness now is ensured

For you are my island of comfort

In the sea of life for all time

I am your haven of peace

As you so deeply are mine

So away we will sail to the sunset

With a joy that is utterly true

Together forever as soulmates

Which is why I will always love you

Sighhhhhh.........beautifully written, such wonderful tender words, they make me want to sigh and then sigh again. I'm going to have to call you the "Romance King"............ Together forever as soulmates, wow it makes me melt, so goodness knows what it does for the lady it's intended for :), I like the way you have compared feelings to the sea and ocean it adds to the poem. I like it, Phil

Oh my....how this stirs my romantic self to rise and shine...~Sigh~ Your imagery is simply stunning...makes the heart simply melt into silken puddles! And these lines:

"No more the panic of storms
Becalmed in a love deep and pure
My oars just glide on the water
As my happiness now is ensured
For you are my island of comfort
In the sea of life for all time
I am your haven of peace"

It does not get anymore precious than this...words to be treasured! A Poetic Gem!

I love the imagery here... some words that come to mind are: soothing - comforting - tranquil - reassuring... and, of course, contentment. Your caption... "a feeling of pure contentment"... perfect, pure contentment. Very nice.

This is a very special poem indeed. Just a beautiful love poem. I hope you shared it with your love...

My oars just glide on the water is a wonderful line.
