Much thanks to my cohert in poetry, Magnus, for awakening my sleeping muse

Love Anew

If love were left to find a heart
Upon the steps of mountains high
Two hands would clasp, pull not apart
As eagles flew in soaring sky

And if love lingered, stilling time
As hands enclasped beneath the moon
Could poets ever pen such lines
To cause these lovers hearts to swoon

For in their hearts a promise lay
To love and cherish for all time
A couples vow their words would say
From written script of lover's rhyme

He swore to her his love was true
She swore she'd never leave his side
In wedding white, borrowed, and blue
She vowed that she would be his bride

A blush did show as hearts did race
Upon the night when they were wed
When two loves joined in one embrace
Beneath the stars above their heads

'Twas on that night, the comets rained
And as the stars fell to the earth
He kissed her face where veil did train
And heavens sighed at loves rebirth

Ah, Ruth...you did indeed find a true poet with whom to mix your muse...

Magnus...you could not have requested the assistance of a better poet, than our Ruth, to write such a love poem.

Thank you both for leaving us all such a treasure.

Well mercy sakes, was that a beauty you two.  What a fantastic duo you make, so would it be asking too much for another?

nice work you two - I especially like:

"And if love lingered, stilling time
As hands enclasped beneath the moon
Could poets ever pen such lines
To cause these lovers hearts to swoon "

There is a pinnacle in poetry, where it is obvious that the gifts have matured and render excellence, seamless, flowing and beautiful you two.
