Serenity gained from vows to love
Drawn together in celebration
Young in spirit we began
Our lives of collaboration

Will our love survive to that golden time
will your hand still reach out to find me
will we still note each glance, each touch
that guides us to our eternity

Or will we blink and loose the sight
of what was planned as love’s design
will we turn and walk away
from the world that is yours and mine

Perhaps the future is best unknown
each moment seen as a cherished token
that combined with our love will ever be
a bond that remains unbroken.

When does a memory become an heirloom
to be passed down from heart to soul
when all the beautiful tomorrows
become the yesterdays that make us whole

We have to live the moment because memories can drift away with passing time, even those memories of passion. Nice job!

All beauty and truth here, s. And the last verse? the only answer that I have is that we create our own heirlooms---we decide.

Indeed, sometimes the future is best unknown....a lovely valentine poem my friend, your talent never ceases to amaze me!

In a frost-killing hour
The sweet turning sour and untouchable...

Thank you all, I appreciate your kind words. This was written for a young couple for their wedding.

I see you’re getting a reputation for writing good poetry and after this I can see why.

Thanks for the chance to read and reply


Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool:
But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.
