Today I saw your smiling face,
My heart leaped up within me,
as once again it's set ablaze.
I had to face my futile case,
when with you walked your Chosen One,
the person that one day will be,
(be it that God will to it see)
the father of your son,
posessor of your home and heart,
insep'rably, completely part
of every aspect of your life,
every prospect to which you strife.
Maybe, him you'll one day love
only then, he'll be your better half.
I looked at him to see if he
did grasp his blissfull destiny.
His thoughts I could not fathom then,
but as I now think back again,
I realise he hardly knows
depth of the heart that you bestow.
Does he fully realise,
the price tag of your sacrifice?
Does he know about a fortress built,
your heart 'gainst tender feelings shield,
though letting in duty and guilt?
Does he a truthfull measure get,
of all the tears in secret shed?
Does he see your heart is scarred and red
and not too long ago still bled?
We'll only know how much love cost,
if in our life this love we lost.

I noticed that in your poems you often speak in an oldstyle kinda Shakespeare way and you use oldfashioned abbriviations (like "'gainst") and it makes your poems even more appealing.
Very nice touch. This is a pretty sad poem. I think everyone experiences this at least once (and probably more). To love one who does not share you desire and to see that one with someone who does not fully appreciate and understand how lucky and blessed they are... sigh... Nice write!
Love, Jessica -
Good write
So true are your words. So indearing and kind. You hit a courd and gently allow all to come together and become one. I enjoyed your poem.
I also want to thank you for reading and commenting on my poem: "Can We Move the Clouds?" I appreciate your comments.
Keep on smiling and you make new friends and you will empower others to do the same.
God is blessing you!
With Christain Love,

love is lost if we choose not to seek it out. friendship can be the cost if nothing is ever said just to leave it as is. only the strong at heart will make sure that things can be in reach if only itz by the fingertips.
