Meant To Be (Swap Quatrain)

Heart does flutter when you're in sight
Euphoria, it's sheer delight
Words of love I gladly utter
When you're in sight heart does flutter'

My spirits dance, my soul does sing
True happiness to me you bring
When I am in your loving glance
My soul does sing, my spirits dance

We're meant to be forevermore
With much more love and care in store
Still bonded when Heaven we see
Forevermore we're meant to be.

    Aww this is so sweet. You can really feel how much you love this person. I really liked:
    Still bonded when Heaven we see
    Forevermore we're meant to be.
    My fiance has said that to me many times, not as poetically but it still means a lot.
    Thanks for entering and Good luck

    I particularly liked the part about going to heaven and your love still being existent up there. That to me was my favourite part which although is a small part of this poem it spoke volumes to me, i don't quite know either why it did.

    this is a sweet love poem, but i find it rather sad, for all the people i love end up going away, and i feel like this while they're around, but it makes me mad when they leave, anyhow amazing poem and good luck with my contest.

    This is a great piece. Very touching, I had a tear in my eye as I read it. Thinking of that truely beautiful feeling this expresses! There is no better feeling than love! And you have expressed it so beautifuly. Such good use of language and it flows perfectly and all the rhymes work really well. One of the best love poems I have read in a long while. Everyone can write a poem about love, but to write a poem about REAL TRUE LOVE is a little more difficult and it's one of those things you can only write well if you have felt TRUE love! So I guess you are one of the lucky ones. This was amzing. Good luck in the contest!

    Sweet one- nice expression of love, I looked at it because of the word quatrains which brings Nostradamus to mind - however there was no connection. I enjoyed it anyway

    This is beautiful! It's a great example of the joy and jubliation of true love, unfettered by the petty pretences of jealousy or distrust. this is precicely how I feel about my love right now, we're planning on getting handfasted soon, and this poem reminds me of a wedding verse. Really beautiful and touching, it makes me smile simply reading it. Excellent job.
