Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2000-04-17 08:28 PM


As the tree unable to bend,
Through the storms of the wind,

Through hurtful pain beyond devastation,
Love, reborn, rejuvenation,

Being tortured through the soul,
Stripped clean all emotions let go,

Forgiveness deep forever resides,
Throughout loves deep stormy tides,

Iron, steel, Loves grip has hold,
Heavier weight for my heart to hold,

Struggles, fightings, death and more,
Through it all, a strong love conquers hearts at war,

Little things, big things, souls pain a travisity,
Above it all, through it all,
A love so strong, shows humble humility,

For true love is not always wine, dine,
romance and dance,
Poem and Rhyme,
Flowers and fragrance,
Hypnotized by heart chimes,

A strong love,goes stronger, deeper, than any other,
More than a friend or a lover,

A strong love brings you soup when your sick in bed,
massages your feet from work, keeps your body fed,

A strong love, cries with you,Forgives all your mistakes,
Loves you for your faults,thick and thin, whatever it takes,

To move and bend, but to remain, not fall,
A love so strong, a tree in the forest standing tall,

A love so strong comforts you in pain,
Encourages you, brings sunshine for your rain,

A love so strong, remains faithful under pressure,
A golden heart, of pure love, devotion to treasure,

A love so strong, defies death and all odds,
destroys bitterness and hate,

A love so strong, binds, does not separate,
Unites hearts of love, friends and families,
nations and states,
Countrys of war, it brings peace,

A LOVE SO STRONG DENIES SELF ABOVE ALL,
does not boast, remains so small,

A love so strong puts others first, and self last,
Happiness flows from letting go of the past,

Love is an offer, a self sacrifice,
A cleanseing of the souls release,

A love so strong, is humble, not jealous or boastful,nor full of pride,

Tells the truth, does not hide,
Never deceives by lie,

For my heart contains a love so strong,
as spoken above,
One that evil cannot defeat,

Not half but whole,
Not just through good, but bad,
Through happy and sad,

A love to make another soul complete,
Through right and wrong, grow together,

Through lifes dance and song,
Through all seasons and weather,

This is a love so strong,
Where in my heart ,
You'll belong,
Forever......

This a a wonderful debut to forum#7 the lines I like the best are...

"A love so strong puts others first, and self last,
Happiness flows from letting go of the past,

It's a bit off your beaten path from the Shakespearean. But nevertheless... it's a good challenge.

Romantic,

I don't know what's wrong with these people. This has got to be some of your best. You'll just have to forgive/excuse me for a little nudge to the top, it's something in my fingers, maybe a disease they of caught.

I agree with Devina, I feel a note hear on my ear. Could it be a ballad, only time can tell.

Romantic Heart, you have written wisdom for all ages and all hearts.  Don't think I have seen anything as well written.  Copied to my file of excellence in poetry, along with others from you.
It's a pleasure to "bump" this back to the top where it belongs.

Thanks Chris! I know it has mistakes, typos, so I left it that way because love in itself is not perfect
