Gold Love

I believe in love still

I guess i will always

Enternal optimist I am


 

 

Love has different prisms

 

 

The colors vary

from the blue or pink

Love of your child or grandchild

 

 

Purple hues passions glow

start of a love affair

between two lovers

 

 

The enivous gleam of greens

watching sweet love

pass you by even on the screen

 

 

Then there's Golden

this is the color to be obtained

my grandmother had this love

 

She loved a man so much

when he passed away she never dated another

The golden shimmers of lasting , tried by fire love!

 

 

Realizing never having

I seek treasure of gold filled love

True deep conversations

 just no matter what the two do

its pure pleasure just being near each other.

 

 

Even if you feel

you have a small crack in your golden vessel

both laugh at the leak

and laugh knowing the potter can fix it

with a touch, a smile or a knowing

 

 

My hands have communioned  that love

in a slight moment of time

I touched the mystery of gold...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

This was easy for me but to others it may make no sense at all , But golden love is measured by its weight and even when tried by fire withstands the test of time , its beauty is unlike no other .

    The journey for gold....

    Very beautifully done and felt... The emotions evoked are universal, but rarely truly felt by many, let alone put to print... Nice flow in this one, even musical at times: "The enivous gleam of greens", "Purple hues passions glow", etc. Love how the use of "I" immediately draws the reader in within the first three lines.... Then the concept of love as a prism flows nicely into the examples and then the "golden"... Last three lines nicely done and complete the circle from the first three... Thank you for the journey....

    This was beautiful. Many have no concept of real love or its meaning and the sweetness of it. Not a fantasy, but has depth and is purified. Gold is purified by fire. Scummy dross is drained off, and only pure gold remains. That is precious, and worth its weight. Thanks for sharing.

    Well deserved GOLD, Lisa! My grandparents had that also. I know they had their hard times, but their love was so deep it survived everything. My grandmother outlived my grandfather by 20 years and when a man would show her any attention she would simply tell him another man will always have her heart. (I am crying now) Thank you for sharing your thoughts and sweet story, and reminding me of mine.
    Love,
    Michelle

    You will find your gold

    Your future is as bright as the gold awaiting you. This is beautiful, as is the soul behind the words.

    I really enjoy this. And it makes perfect sense!
    Love these words so much because I have only this year experienced this for myself!
    "True deep conversations
    just no matter what the two do
    its pure pleasure just being near each other."

    Lovely sentiment! ***Pam***

    I must say that I know all about love standing the test of time. I thank God each day because I passed that test, with as you may say " Golden " colors. I have " tried by fire love! " finally in my life, and I must say I am keeping it. It's has been a long hard road, but I landed in someone's heart, my new home.

    You have a very beautiful poem here. It has Golden written all over it. The best of luck to you in the contest.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always

    This is Beautifully Done.

    This is a devinely written poem about true and everlasting love. The kind you speak of when refering to your grandmother. There are people in this world who are blessed with this kind of love. Most of the time it takes years of knowing each other to find that depth of love, sometimes it never happens. Once in a while two people are just complete soulmates from the time they meet. There has to be a lot of give and take in a relationship for it to work. There also needs to be understanding and compassion as well. There are so many variables that make up a good relationship that you have to treasure every minute with each other and spend time working,playing and just enjoying each other for your love to grow and be complete.

    Wouldn't We All.......................

    love to have a taste of that gold at least once in our lives...I have never had it and am holding out for it now. It is had to see others have it and wonder why all cannot be that fortunate to feel that wonderful feeling of having someone love that deeply and return that love freely without anticipation or worry of rejection. Thanks for sharing this piece it is truly a wonderfully written piece of poetry!!!~~Toni~~

    beautiful

    I do understand what you were saying true love stands the test of time. Love is getting though all the trials and still being in love after it all. I say love is that special look from across a room full of people and you only see that one person.

    this is very true and makes a lot of sense...assessed by weight, depth,sometimes beyond reason...perhaps we can determine the value by asking "how far do i go, how much sacrifice am i willing to offer to preserve a meaningful relationship ..." and the hues may denote emotions...passion

    Haunted by a voice
    i have never heard,
    a touch i have never felt,
    a face i have not seen.
    by another soul ...
    who knows:
    what i am about to say,
    what i hold dear,
    who senses what i feel.

    Stirred by the spirit
    of the night,
    cloaked in darkness,
    in endless pain, i see
    and feel the sunset
    disappear into nothing.
    I have only the memory
    of a rose, in the gentle
    whispers of the nite,
    in royal purple,
    the color of my love.

    I really like this

    It made me wonder if I will ever have this gold kind of love, even though I have loved plenty!
    That lack made me feel sad and I remembered bereavements I have suffered.
    I like the image of the potter.

    Wow! I absolutely loved this poem!! To me, personally, I felt the purity of love in this write. Definitely not the love that exists in our world today. There are so many wonderful ways to interpret this write, and the conclusion always reveals the beauty of what love can really be. I loved it when you talked about your grandmother and her denial of another love. That makes me want to travel back in time and completely inhale that feeling. Awesome write dear!!

    I really like this concept of love in colors, especially that golden love is the epitome. The reference to your grandmother's love was very sweet, my own grandpa didn't date anyone else after my grandmother passed away, and that was 9 years ago. It's hard for me to imagine ever loving someone that much, but clearly it must be possible.

    My only suggestion is to do a quick once over of the spelling. Poor spelling can really drag an otherwise flawless poem down pretty quick. But otherwise it was great. Good work!

    Absolutely wonderful!


    Oh how wonderful!!!

    What a wonderful comparison - between gold and love - beautiful and touching throughout!!
    I love that you are an eternal optimist - I wish I could say the same. However, I do feel tha I am lucky enough to have found my golden love already!
    What a lovely, well described poem, thanks for sharing it with us!

    Wow this is wonderful. I wish I had that love. That love takes time to build. I have only been married a few short years. So there time to develop. That love comes from facing adversity. Knowing that love will not leave a person. It comes when you least expect it. Very well wrote. I truly love the imagery and content. When I see Gold. I shall think of your words. They are inspiring.
