Longer than forever,  is a very long time to love
It can only be done,  when love is sent from above

If this kind of love,  intend to have,  do we
There are some agreements,  on which we need agree

From the very beginning,  for this love to last
We have to forget,  the things of the past

For whatever has happened,  before we two met
There's definitely not a lot,  we can do about it

We have to just think,  what's happening now between us two
If we accomplish this,  then respect will be there, too

This is very important,  for our love to grow
Growth comes not suddenly,  but slowly built,  as we both know

Another important thing,  is we need to remain friends
Keeping communication open,  having a ready ear to lend

When some problem comes up,  about it we should talk
Not keeping feelings inside,  then neither of us will walk

If we will put forth the effort,  to gain each other's trust
Being always honest with each other,  is an absolute must

And this wonderful passion we share,  we certainly can't forget
To keep our love alive,  these fires must stay lit

To accomplish this,  should be a real pleasure
For now our desire for each other,  is easily above measure

For unconditional love we share, to last longer than forever
Compassion,  passion,  trust with tenderness,  we must always endeavor

Longer than forever....I love that.

Sounds like it should be a song title..sounds like you have the right recipe started also. Nicely done Ethel.

Many able writers here discuss love and relationships, but none more ably than you.  I always feel from your writings that you are in a very happy place in your life.  KJ

So I found it and I liked it. My title, same as yours I wrote in the 70s. Interesting to see the same title with such different thoughts and words.

a whole lot of heart wisdom written in your rhymes Ethel..this is as lovely as it is sincere.

Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past?
With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last.

Hi Spirit...it is, isn't it?  Words (and titles) can mean so many different things, can't they?
I'm really glad that you're here. I like your thoughts (and titles, too.....*smiles*)

I can tell that you're going to fit right in here. Again, welcome to Passions.

I loved this poem Ethel, and I thought you might be interested to know there *is* a song called "Longer Than Forever". It's from the animated movie "The Swan Princess" soundtrack:

For longer than forever,
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here with me,
Although we're far apart,
For longer than forever,
Like no love ever known
And with your love I'll never be alone..."

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

Rainbowdust....
I've never heard of the song, but those lyrics you wrote are beautiful. I just love the thought of "longer than forever".
Thank you for reading my poem and for your reply...
