Love Can Not Forget




We are busy in our lives,
No time for sweet good-byes,
You fear me leaving,
As I do you,
Yet we struggle to stay true …

I’ve been away,
In a place that is so gray,
I cannot see tomorrow,
I am stuck in today,

With all its sorrows and grief,
It won’t leave,
You fear losing me,
And say you just want to know,
If I will forget you…

My love,
Even when I sit outside,
I see the moon shine in your eyes,
The glow of its lovely light,
Reflects so softly in the night…

It brings me a deep peace,
To know that you are there,
Thinking of me,
As I struggle to see you…

Your gentle beauty was a light,
In my dark world,
The words you speak,
Reverberate in my soul,
And echo in my mind…

Even when my heart is so down,
I think of you and smile,
I cannot forget you my love,
Though your light dims now and again,

I will always remember the love and beauty,
You brought into my life,
Though our future is set in stone,
We will never be alone,

Our love transcends everything,
All pain and sorrow is but a ripple,
That soon settles into a calm pond,
When the darkness finally passes,
It is your loving face I see in the dawn.

I can relate so well to this top class fabulously written poem.
You 'hail from the place where eagles still fly'
...fly high reindeer above that dawn.

Such truth and torture here, as well as hope and delight. The agonies and the ecstasies of the ups and downs of committed love. The last stanza is particularly beautiful and delicately expressed and matches the stunning picture so well. Thank you, Kate xx

Lovely lovely poem Retta and the graphic is gorgeous. The poem is filled with wonderful lines but these really touched me:
"All pain and sorrow is but a ripple,
That soon settles into a calm pond,
When the darkness finally passes,
It is your loving face I see in the dawn. "

Well done!

But it does Retta and it changes too. Love cannot be controlled by your lover unless you voluntarily commit your heaart and soul. When this happens only the lovers actions can change love into hate or indifference. Keep loving and hoping for light in your darkness. The shadows are long and move swiftly' covering you and hiding you in the dark. You don't need to comment on me. I understand why you don't. You are not permitted to. Right?
