In Those Moments

I'm a hopeless romantic, so sue me, LOL

  

In those moments of good times

It gives me no greater pleasure

Then to share them with you.

For it turns such treasured times

Into priceless memories

For two minds wrapped in

A heart built for deuce.

 

In those moments of sorrow

We stand side by side

As our hearts become pillars

Of strength leaning on one another,

Not even Hercules can knock them over.

They say there is strength in numbers

But here two is like a packed stadium.

 

In those moments of disagreement

Harsh words may get spoken

But the sharp edges are padded

By the faith in one another

To ensure that the wounds

Are always temporary.

 

In those moments of passion

We get lost in the heat of the night

Causing the embers of desire

To shine like a beacon.

The sweat created between us

Is the dew from a rainforest

Ensuring desire won’t dry up

And become extinct.

 

Every moment of every day

Says that we are without a doubt

Forever love.

Oh Dale...how precious, and I echo your sentiments from the flickering of candlelight, the soft kisses, tender embraces, flowers gracing the table. To be a romantic is a gift of one's heart to another!
Please don't ever stop being just who you are, as your romanticism gives us these beautiful poems of love....of forever love!

Quite a testiment to what real and enduring love could be.

Me, personally, find the very first verse rewarding all by itself.
(of course I enjoyed all of the stanzas)

There is nothing wrong with being a romantic; male or female.

Well Done.

wow, this was so amazing, I read this and thought, you delieverd a love affair,, it was romantic
yet real when you added the normal negative.. that to me is what makes love, when two people
are able to share every emotion God created.. beautiful...
