Undying Love

Two people growing old together!

From the very begining you had my heart,

I fell in love with you the minute I laid eyes on you

         My palms were sweaty

         My legs became weak

         My heart rate  grew rapid

 

I wondered if you felt the same,

but when you walked up to me, I knew.......

        The palms of your hands were damp

        Your body trembled in my embrace

        your heart beat echoed in my ears

 

There was so many things about you I loved

          Black hair

                       silky skin

                                    sexy body

            angelic voice

 

But those aren't the only things I fell in love with,

your just as beautiful on the inside

            Caring

                    Loving

                            Forgiving

    So sweet

 

Through the years we have changed,

but our love for one another hasn't

              Grey hair

                          Wrinkled skin

        Crippled body

                           Quivering voice

 

But when I look at you,

I still see someone that is....

              Beautiful

                           Loving

                                    Caring

       Forgiving

                    So sweet

 

Now that your time with me is coming to an end,

my heart  is breaking into

I don't want to go on without you,

but my darling wife,

I'll love you forever,

and I'll see you soon

Must be nice to enjoy such devotion!

[HopelesslyDevoted]

i try not to think about the circle of life, cause it makes me think myself in circle of frustration, but this poem presented it in a beautiful way!

[Goodbye]

Oh so beautiful and poignant, the circle of life coming to it's logical close, and the love goes on forever....so lovely!

[SpokenWord]

I like the order of the poem. We are usually physically attracted first before becoming mentally bound. One has to love the chemical reaction of our bodies. Then once we notice the person physically we get to see inside them where real beauty or lack of lives. Even through the changes to the physical the mental remained steady as the first time you met. Wonderful love poetry.

loved the set up, this is just beautiful

[The Dudeman (Kenneth T)]

Set up? I love the set up. It's what makes the poem great. You also put a deep meaning inside too.

[Nothing Personal]

Beautiful. Didn't expect what was coming as i didn't read your poem's tags. Yah. The Beauty of relationships is not in the springs of youth but also could be in the harsh winters of old age when the warmth and the subtlety, care and comfort in each other predominates. beautiful piece. the way i perceive romanticism..

[iamcarolfierce]

I LOVE THIS. It only shows what a true love should really be, not only relying on the physical attributes but looking deeper. It's very sweet to know that 'til the end, until all the beauty is gone, the love was still there.
