I never knew that love had legs,  
that walked upon reflections,
I never knew two people could own time
just for themselves.

I never knew relinquish was the tarnish
of beginning,
I never knew that seconds drown in light
within the wisp.

Eons always will be broken thorns
upon becoming,
just as liquid shadows bear the
stillness of our fate.

Fall with me through glimmer in the sun night
of the wayward,
ever on the dawning, that be stills the love
we yearn.

Gleam with me forever on the shoreline
of engagement,
wish shall not forsake us in the lips
of our embrace.

What a beautiful language you weave in this poem.  I like all of it, but this verse really caught my attention:

"Eons always will be broken thorns
upon becoming,
just as liquid shadows bear the
stillness of our fate."


It's sad, but it also intimates changes that form us beyond the reflections of time.   That's what Love does, when eons become more than beginnings and endings.

The metaphors and the imagery of this engaging poem work so well together, to express the meaning of relationship in an extraordinary way! I am moved to ask: Oh, what manner of love is this! I think it is rare. A magnificent write, Richy.

Regards,

As always, thank you dear Margeherita!

Art my friend, I thank you for your gracious sentiments.

What kind of love?
The most very special kind!
But then, what love isn't?

Thanks again you two!
Rich
