Therefore... I love you

Missing image

 (My brothers son Case and a friend holding on, we never know)

 

 

In my life
I have soared to the heavens
and fallen to the floors, with wanted love

Touched one hand
only to have it drawn away
and found another, that raised me again

Yet we never truly know
how each life will blend upon us
and only their soul, may reveal their care

and always I will reach again
seeking the one that will say my name forever
and whisper to me in harmony, the dreams we may both believe

Love seeks it’s own match
and knows the melody, of the inner life
It will blend like matching fingers, in two hands held

From your amber eyes
I feel a thousand soft words revealed
each layed upon our love, created well over time

formed by desire
warmed by a deep embrace
confirmed... by two souls touching

You are my love
more than I deserve
I can only, adore you now

Therefore... I love you



Lee

Author notes

Love may be easy, or a very amazing struggel
It is all in the choosing, and what we believe
and whome we seek in life, to hold our hand.

    This is beautiful, Rick!!!! I believe that we have to love a few times before we find our true love. Although it may be that we end up coming back to the first one only stronger! Very well done, my friend!!!! Good luck in the contest!!!!

    I have to agree with Noreen...love when found is not a dream, not two souls passing in the night! But, two souls merging somewhere in the delights in the heavely stars. Celestial bonding that only two can share! So happy to see you smile once again! ~Sie

    When true love touches us, it never leaves. Even if the person physically is gone, our feelings remain. They are put away in compartments of our hearts and kept there with our memories. We never know the impact a person will leave on our lives...and we must bask in the joy of their essence. It is what keeps us going, to move on, to reach, to seek and to finally love.
    This was written beautifully... Much luck in the contest.
    Love

    Hi Mr.
    I am falling in love with your nephew and his little friend. They are both about as cute as can be. Children has always amaze me, in their care free world. Wish we could all live in a care free world. Walking around all day with no worries, how nice would that be.

    Your words always show the love that you keep stored in the golden heart of yours.

    Over the years I have held on tight to love and many times I have failed. I have been overly happy in love and many times I have cried day and night.
    I found love to be at times an unexplainable feeling,
    of something better than the best feeling ever felt or when love goes bad it can be the worst feeling ever felt.

    I like the line " love seeks it own match "
    How very true. Yet so many seek and seek never seeing what is standing right in front of their face.
    We both know how true that was for me.
    But with the help from you I opened my eyes and found the true love of my life.

    It's funny sometimes the wonderful things we give up in life, only to find what we been looking for along. So in many ways I have you to thank to taken my hand and placing it were it belonged. Thank you Mr.

    I loved your poem, as always. And I bet I am more happier for you, than even you are LoL. Stay happy this time and treat her like the best of everything that she is. Many, many blessings to you always.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always
    Love Ya, Mr.
    Me ~~~

      You did truly have a long road to love
      but it is all wonderful when it finally comes to us

      Thank you for being happy for me
      I feel the same for you and feel blessed
      that somehow I added to your journey, to peace and love

      Always, Rick

    G'morning Rick,

    That is one of the sweetest pictures! Is this the same sweetheart Case had a year ago even, that I remember hearing about? I fear he may be doing better in Love than many of us adults! Then again...even love seems much less complex through the eyes of a child...[Bob might want to lock the doors now, those eyes of Case's are going to get him in SO much trouble as he gets older! ]

    Oh, the poem? Yep, I liked that, too. LOL

    Seriously, there's a lot of thought that's gone into your words, and I love how positive you are able to stay no matter how hurt you've been in the past, and no matter what mistakes you may have made yourself. The only thing I question is the "therefore" at the end...to me, that signifies there's a "reason" to love this person based on something they have done...and you already know my thoughts on that subject, that love needs no reason and should be given free of expectations...although since you talk about "adoring" her in the previous line, it could also be interpreted you love her because you adore her...but then what happens on those days when you merely tolerate each other? Okay, I'm rambling...sorry! lol My point (I'm sure I had one when I started) is...do you need the "therefore"?

    Just a couple of other things, as your official spelling fairy, that I'm questioning..

    "and only their soul, may reviled their care" ["reviled" means "assailed with contemptuous language" according to rhymezone.com Did you mean reveal? Or rival maybe? ]

    "I feel a thousand soft words reveled" I'm wondering if "reveled" is the word you want here...maybe this was supposed to be "revealed"? Actually, I'm not sure you need any word after "soft words" to make it work splendidly with the following line, but that's just MO.

    And lastly:
    "Your my love" Grammatically, "Your" should be "You're" here...but I think I'd prefer having it spelled out "You are" instead of the abbreviated version, so wanted to throw that out there for your consideration.

    That's all I saw...hopefully I didn't miss anything, but no guarantees at 6am.

    All in all, another beautiful and inspired piece of writing, Hon. I looked at this contest and would love to write for it myself, but I seem to have reserved a spot in someone else's contest I need to write for first. And...I'm not sure if my heart could handle TWO love poems in such quick succession. Thank goodness you never have a problem with that!

    Good luck in the contest...
    Love and s
    ~J.
