it was only yesterday (gold trophy)

it was only yesterday,

wasn’t it

when first you said I love you ?

and the world stood still

for a moment

while your lips,

those sweet lips

came close to mine

 

now here it is 

years later

and  your words of love

still make the world stop

and the birds

singing their songs

seem more profoundly happy

 

all the ups and downs

the bitter and the sweet

have become our memories

to be interwoven

within the universe

as those who’ve

been a part of our lives

bow their heads in prayer

 

within their thoughts

permeating the air

we’ve become immortalized

as they think of us

 

and once again

my world stands still

as you say I love you

for the first time

... again

    It is so true

    Yes, you touch the beauty of romance.
    As I write this I am lost in one of my favorite songs,
    I've never been in love before
    from "Guys and dolls."

    Great love poem

    Hood Wink!

    What a beautiful poem rich with love and care
    This kind of reminds me a little of The Notebook, where she starts losing her memory and he still tells her he loves her, like its the first time


    Stay safe

    I decided to change the background as my original one made the text difficult to read ( I really like that background, though)

    Fabulous idea

    Immortalized. What a clever way of describing eternity. You make it sound believable. Happy Thanksgiving wishes on this 25th day of November,
    day after tomorrow!

    These are such lovely words filled with such tenderness. The only problem I had was reading the lines on the background. They were a little hard to see. Good luck in the contest.

    100th Hood-wink!

    Lovely poem! And this comes from a person who doesn't normally care for free verse!

    So romantic. I like the ending too. Very sweet and stirring. Wish I had this!

    Keep writing.
