Love's Glance #2

An anniversary poem

The heart tells the story
of years together
punctuated
with episodes of laughter
sparkling with
the tears
of life's tiny tragedies

wrinkled with age
folded along lines unseen
for convenient transportation
in pocket
or purse

unfolded gently
in the wave 
of autumn's starry heat

warped by the tears
of dusty roads
unkempt tar
and the asphalt of many miles

unbound in love
worn with care
this heart
radiant still
beats
with love and heat
found fresh in the careful glance
that tentative terrain
of love's perfect glance.

Amazing write. Great job.

[FJ Davis]

Though a bit battered by cosmic rays, still the romantic--ever the lover.
Unlike most, yours is not a quest to find anything; you seek to protect, preserve and enhance that precious something you already have.
I envy you, Audrey!--and truly admire your poetry.

Faultless from start to finish ! Your writing is excellent

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Life long love is the greatest gift God bestows upon us. It makes life so much more worth while. Lucky or perhaps wise are those who do the work to keep love alive instead of letting it die. This is wonderful.

A beautifully written displayed tribute to your love. You seem to travel time here, yet not a word or line is over-dramatic. What a sweet and sincere poem, Audrey.

The flow in this poem is phenomenal! The last stanza is crafted perfectly. You really have the heart beating radiantly throughout the poem despite the wear and tear of life. A charming poem!

[Tina Kline]

True love is like falling in love all over again when gazing upon the one who is so loved. A beautiful romantic poem!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Cool read. This feel trascendent, like a spirit of love runs through it. I like the last stanza edifies my point the most. Again, excellent read.
