It is that which
seeks the desires and caresses of another's heart and soul
Never looking to the outer for satisfaction
For my outer self is ever aging and decaying
My soul and heart are timeless
My love is my soul, my lover resides there
with me...ageless like the wind the sea and the rain.
It is the joining of souls and hearts to sail together
in the evermore, bonding as one to weather the storms
and ride the high seas as one strong vessel.
It is the ability to be one together yet still be two
while keeping time with each other
in the dance of life.

Excellent!
So many answers within the questions you weave within your poetry..I have always enjoyed reading of Love!
It makes my world go round, this I surely know...For God and everyone else that has lived on this earth, I believe feels there can never be enough love to make the world a better place. 
Thanks for sharing your heart, nice to read you once again. After the change in the site, I lost alot of my favs, but slowly but surely, I'm finding them once again! Much love to you and all those who you cares for, peace, Timothy aka poeticweaver~

Thank you Chris. I haven't written anything new since "These Walls" and you read that one. I have some poetry brewing in my heart and mind but it hasn't made it's way out just yet
I've been pulling somethings in my life together so I've a little absent but I'll be around more fulltime again soon. Love and hugs my friend.

Hey Robin, your new poems are not on top any more? Unless you’ve not compiled any with a busy little bee life style my friend.
Had to come and seek some of your others looking for any I’ve not read, this poem here, the one together, yet still two, you must know this well as an important issue in relationships, I’m sure you do as you wouldn’t have thought it over. Freedom of nature spirit and all, a beautiful thing to grasp my friend. Your birds will relay this too in reflection. God Bless you

Thank you sweety. I appreciate your wonderful comments always.
-
Beautifully written..and very wise...conception of what love should be. I do love this one...you always win my heart with your words.
-
Thank you Margaret I'm glad to see someone really "get" this one
-
This is touching in a non-verbal way, so I'll read a few more times.
"My soul and heart are timeless", that is what I feel too, what's more so are my husband's. We are still the two undergraduates who could not say goodnight, through days and decades. I love your image of the ships bound together, though still able to be free. "Free together", I said once.
Heart thump. Thank you.

Hi Darmok and thanks for reading. I have only written very few in this form. It's something I have begun to dabble in a bit. The only other one I have (that I can think of) is one I wrote describing the flight of an Eagle. It is called "Through An Eagle's Eye" and it's in the "Birds and Other Animals" category on my author's page. Hopefully I'll have more soon
-
I'd like to read the rest, written in this free form that is. Its a style I enjoy as well as those written in ryhme. -D
-
Thank you Darmok. I'm glad you enjoyed this. It is one of the few I have written in this form.

Ageless love, it is the sanctuary of the heart that keeps it pure, neither weathered by time or trial...it remains as the day it was received...you have a beautiful poem here LS, -Darmok
-
beautifully deep and euphoric. awesome imagery to go with too. i always had a liking for timeless talk; how it will live one forever and never be burdened by the toppling dirt that lay upon my decadant body... well... that was kinda depressing... but yours is up-spirited and thas awesome!!!
-
very good hun!!!
keep up the good work!!!!!!! i can see now that you get your talent from me! wait....i mean i can see that i get my talent from you.....

I agree David. I think they should be a little lost without eachother, however being able to keep some of yourself and be able to function alone when you need to I think gives you the opportunity to continue to appreciate the other. All in all, I think we are in agreement
Thanks for the wonderful comment sir knightiness

/This is beatiful because it is from your heart. I have made my mistakes and I have come to believe that while two should retain some of their former self when they love, if they don't become one in many ways they are destined for failure or at least will not experience the deapth of love they could otherwise. I think two should become one so strongly that when apart they feel lacking and not whole. Together they are as good as they can be and separated they are a bit lost. Does this make any sense at all? smiling. Very good poem. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoy your ramblings! Ramble all you want. You are right, it is what is in each persons own heart and soul to determine their own defintion of love. It's what makes us all unique and wonderful in our own way. Thanks for the wonderful comment!

This is very beautiful. When I think of all the various defining poems I have read about love, I think I have come to the conclusion that not only is love's meaning something different to all us, with certain universal, core likenesses, but the areas of difference tend lie in what the needs of each person's heart is. Some need more assurance than others and a stronger sense of being that one and only so to them, love is something more encompassing than it would be for someone who feels more secure in who they are. Okay... I am rambling and I need to shut up. This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.

Good
I really enjoyed this poem. I honestly can't tell you what it is I liked about it most... But I like how it expresses that no matter how old your physical image may become... You may die one day... But that love in your heart will never cease to be and you and your significant other shall remain young and in love forever and after. I like this poem because it shows that love is a perpetual energy and it shall never dissipate it is true. Good job... If you're interested, you should read my work. Most of it is a dark and angsty, but you will discover some sporadic nature and love poems. Enjoy and thanks for posting your write. -
good
This was very sweet. I especially like the picture accompanying your poetry. -
