I have loved you..

A man's undying love from the first moment their eyes met.

From the moment our eyes first touched
Lost in pools of green and blue
In that moment when all else was laid quiet
I had loved you.

Under blacken skies, sheeted in tempered dark
In the still of the undisturbed morning
When all else rests quiet in a peaceful hush
I have loved you.

When slumbered breath rises and falls tranquil
Softly and peacefully unaware in treasured gaze
When love is precious, and without bounds
I have loved you.

In the magic of loves first caress
Surrendered serene under genteel hands
When hearts lay delicately in open adoration
I have loved you.

When lips first touched in tender kiss
Giving breathless thrill to beating hearts
In that moment, when love was left to linger
I have loved you.

When, in gentle pace I took you in my arms
And held you tenderly in sweet embrace
When hearts spoke in impassioned voice
I have loved you.

In the years that have come and gone
From love's first embrace, until it's last
And all of the moments, treasured between
I have loved you.

In those moments of tears, painful, joyful.
Under the weight of life's heavy paced rush
When all hope, fleeting, has failed you...
I will love you.

And when I have lost what is left of you
Betroth to the Lord's beckoning hand
When others forget, and your memory fades.
I will still love you.

Very well said. I could feel genuine emotion from this piece, which takes true talent. Wonderful work, I cannot wait to see what you will come up with next.

Very nice emotion, but the first line, when our eyes first touched, does not make sense. I like the sentiment and all, but when our gazes met or something would really take this poem from above average to great. Also I loved the repetition. I hate how some poets are afraid of that, you must embrace the repetition :)

:') I feel like that face just didn't get across what I'm feeling... This was lovely. The repetitiveness of that one line really came through. That last verse really got me. I've even got a little tear hanging around.

Lame? I don't think so. I could see this in a Hallmark card for sure! The tribute to the love of your life is very apparent. It will be now and forever that you love this person with all of your heart. This is priceless..... xo

When all else rests quiet in a peaceful hush I have loved you....When hearts spoke in impassioned voice........When all hope, fleeting, has failed you...
