Rare Commodity

Everyone should be so lucky to have located their Soul Mate at least in this life time.

It's amazing how much I love you,
Even in times of pain it never goes away
I could be manic or down right blue,
Yet you've stuck it out with me to this very day
There are a lot of words out there for what you have done,
A love like no other is what we have to date
The game began a long time ago and I feel as if I have won,
Within it the prize, after 35 years, was finally locating my Soul Mate
It's surreal the feelings that are within my heart,
Almost a love that had begun with a sin
We are two people of the same part,
Lovers, Friends and Confidants are what we have been
Now the time comes where we have to see if our love can be enough,
There's many "What If's" that are rolling through your mind
I know that this must be beyond very tough,
To decide if we stay together or if you leave me behind
No matter what your choice ends up being,
I'll always hold the memories dear
Sometimes we have to look through the other persons eyes to be seeing,
That pure love is something we have and it is a commodity that is very rare.

Love is not about possessing the person you fancy the most, rather it's about holding onto the memories of the time you spent with your love and keep those memories in your heart: a very good message this piece of writing leaves.

Excerpt from my poem "Love Affair"
"Close to my heart, you will always remain
Like a sunflower under the sun in spring and rain.
I don’t want to possess you to relish my own desires
As you, my love, are the flower in which the beauty of the world conspires"

Pure love is rare and so is true love. Hold onto it when you find it, treat it special, like a treasure.

how touching, you write with such gentle emotion, I was with you all the way. Love is a beautiful thing :)

[Awdures]

Prose poem which actually works! I like the way you do this without sentimentality and as always you say it as you mean it. I like that in a girl. Good poem.

This is gorgeous, your emotions are leaking from your words, it's like your writing refuses to let the reader leave untouched. Beautiful.

I think this is written well but I dislike the idea of love as a "commodity"...it sounds kind of cold and impersonal. When I think of a "commodity" I think of something for trade or sale or an abilty or talent that earns one money. And while the term might be used as anything of value, I believe true love is beyond price. Just my personal opinion.

I can relate to this writing. This is a job well done. Everyone has a soulmate, even if they don't come in the form of a lover, I think, and for those of us lucky enough to find our soulmate, it is a beautiful thing and needs to be held on to with both hands.
Good job!
