Bitter Sweet

Pondering my thoughts
return to you finding
myself in a situation that's
beautiful, unique and new

Two lost souls in the night
did seek each other out
helped by the hand of fate
became connected by their
inner pain

A love affair started
to unfurl feelings grew
becoming devoted friends
that developed into a
love to strong to comprehend

Our love runs deep and true
within our heart and soul sharing
beautiful whispers in the night
laughter and our tears

It's like we've know
each other not for months
but for many years
we know in our hearts we will
always be friends and lovers of the

Purest kind, built on respect honesty, trust
understanding of each others lives
although we have tried to stop it
our fire for each other rages deep inside

It's a scary kind of love
so intense we often cry
our emotions in turmoil
We ask the question
Why have we fallen so deep?

I long for him to be with me
to hold me as I sleep
but it's a complicated love affair
kind of bitter sweet
to love him in the background
is my promise I will keep

  • Very sweet, yet painful, in the complication of a love affair. Thank you for your entry. Patricia
  • Well...it's not bad...but it's not wonderful...it's...good, okay, decent...I really really hate errors in grammar though...so...that's probably my main issue...and how stanza 5 and 6 are connected by words but not on the screen...don't like it...hm...though the message is true...so, nice job.

    My goodness. What truer words have been spoken? This is so personal and ealistic that it was like I was being tapped on the shoulder and told, "How did she know?" This is beautiful. Great work dear poet

    ANother thing, I think it would be better if you described more how it is bittersweet. Add a little more to it. Just one stanza but I love it the way it is as well.

    So Bittersweet

    It actually helped me kind of realize that I really do love himand even though it's bittersweet, it's love. And it's true, we can't help who we fall in love with.

    I believe that love, real deep down to the bone love, is not ours to control, it is a feeling that is just there...
    Your poetry is very lovely and if you feel this kind of love for someone, then I say, ENJOY !!!

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always

    tender love...so sweetly written

    deep enough to enjoy the beauty and the mystery of the
    final stanza, and i love your author question...
    it is written that love without physical restrictions
    will be like this in heaven...where one's physical limitations such as looks, destinations, status,
    are not present anymore, and we will simply be able to
    enjoy each person's full presence, bathing and basking
    in that joy! Fine lines we face in this physical life,
    and if there comes a time when you must leave that love
    behind...be sure and take not the pain, but the joy
    to seek out WHAT should be yours all along!
