The Power of Love
by Linda L. Dowd

As heated passions rise in mutual ascent,
ebon wings of night enfold our seamless union.
There be no force on Earth that is greater than
the power of love.
So great is ours, that it continues to span
all cosmic bridges and into the beyond.
The joining of our divine sparks,
has produced a raging conflagration
that will burn into the far reaches of time.
Twin souls are we,
and thus have we been blessed,
... for countless lifetimes.

~ * ~


Love is the unifying force which integrates
one’s soul with that of another.
~ Linda L. Dowd

Yo dear Linda,

This works very well for me.  I like both the picture, and your poem.

Love Bobby

This sums up romance, EA.

Linda. This is so unbelievably beautiful and genuinely touching.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

This touches the heart, dear Linda!  Not many people find their twin soul in this world and that, I suppose, is because they're only twins on the soul level. Life does have a way of separating and I often wonder if it's a permanent separation.  Your poem indicates not but I still wonder.  

Hugs to you dear lady.

Yes it is a very touching post my dear Angel,for the power of love is an all encompassing trait not only enjoyed by humans but by animals as well. What greater love can be given than when a dog will give up his life in defence of his master. I try and love all people and in most cases they happily reciprocate, Just as you do my dear.
A great post dear lady. love.

Love the sparks and the endless span.

This is such a passionate love poem, but then
again I expected nothing less from an Angel.
