This poem brings my husband and his love back to me. He died on Aug 17 07 and is truly missed each day. I know I will meet him again some day in heaven. He truly loved colors and things and guess he is enjoying them up there now very much so. Lois

A well-crafted and deeply felt piece. You don't skip along the surface of Love, you submerge and come up with its essence. Your last two lines are a couplet worthy of Alexander Pope. It is a handle to carry the rest of the poem in one's mind. Marvelous!

Doug: Very beautiful, heartfelt. And touching.

Where'd the picture come from? Did you take it?

A secret this flower of love does hide,
hidden away, deep inside.

And that is its power, latent and strong,
�forever� is its answer when asked, �how long?�

I love those kinds of secrets.... thank you for sharing such romantic words....
In Spirit,
Bear

Doug,

Whoa, had no idea you were such a romantic my friend! Such a good poem! The picture is the perfect background setting for words that flow so smoothly. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Excellent work my freind.

<gasp and claps!!> That's so precious, Doug! I love it. I love the effects of the bold italics on, 'forever'. That's sooo wonderful. Nice poem. Refreshing.
