in our time

if love is theoretical, this is an appropriate thesis

as we’re sifting through the laughter

in our passages of time,

we discover hidden secrets

but no reason for the rhyme.

 

we sail through life in unity

if slightly faint of heart,

we’ll never need reunion if

we never split apart.

 

if we never contemplate the split,

or beg each for forgiveness,

we display love, unconditional,

enveloped by love’s goodness

 

if our love is questioned, we believe

it stands so resolutely that if

one might try to test the strength

one will fail so absolutely.

Absolutely Stunning

I love the last strophe Dan. It speaks so strongly of the absolute belief in Love and it's unshakable foundation. I think when you have that, you look at life much differently than those who do not. I read your comment to Aaron about your wife being an inspiration for these romantic writes. She makes a great muse as my husband does for me. Thanks for sharing this bit of your love with us.

It's my pleasure to share, and I'm glad that you (with your husband as muse) can identify with the solidity and strength of a love that can so inspire. Thanks a lot for the read/review. I need to get over to your page and return the favor. take care...dan

I think you've been on mine more than the opposite...you're always welcome, but do not feel obligated. I think I'm still on the minus sign of this equation.

IM, Thanks so much for your kind words. It's so easy to write poems of love when one is inspired by the love of one's life sitting next to them. take care...dan

I love the flow in this one Dan.
"if we never contemplate the split,
or beg each for forgiveness,
we display love, unconditional,
enveloped by love’s goodness"

I really like that stanza... it just supports the belief that if you aren't thinking negatively and thinking what if we split then the love will stay pure... love each other unconditionally. It's a beautiful piece that can serve to many couples as inspiration :)

With my lovely wife Dee as inspiration, these types of writes are almost TOO easy to pen. She gets half the credit. Thanks, Aaron. take care...dan
