Search for love

Search for love

My love, I set upon the sea
It kept on coming, back to me
It took the aspect, of a dove
So I set it free, to find my love

It flew up high, for an eternity
But once more, returned to me
So I set it free, upon the land
I gave it to, my love on hand

Silly me what a fool am I
My love was here before my eyes
So through the years I too have learned
That even though my love had yearned

It never once was mine to give
So I set it free and let it live
I thought because your eyes were blind
You could not see, so did not mind

You called me beautiful, though I'm a man
Something I could never see, or understand
But what you saw was not my face
You said it was my hidden grace

So my love, our love has grown
Since that first tender seed was sown
It turned into a raging fire
Of heat and lust and great desire

Though twenty years have past us by
The passion of our love survived
I look at you with my silly grin
You have no clue of the love within

As once more the passion flares
My thoughts return to our lover's lair
Insatiable thirst quenched for a while
Your lover's touch has me inspired

Every cloud has a silver lining
For you my love it's the phrase defining
For every trial I've ever faced
You my love were MY saving grace

    Very beautiful love poem. Sometimes words just isn't enough to express the love we feel for our partners, but you said it all. I have great admiration for couples that has beeing together for such a long time. It's rare in these days, but what is pure is everlasting and that's real love. Keep it up, kel.

    Hello Grant,

    this is a very touching love poem. In it, it expresses how rich a love can be when it has endured the passage of time. It demonstrates how passion can still run as deep for a love that is true, for a lover who is a life mate. Two lovers who have become woven like the strands of time, becoming stronger and longer. An unbreakable tie.

    Well done my friend on this amazing poem.

    Michael

    p.s One question, the punctuation in the first 2 stanzas stands out against the rest. Is this intended?
