The Greatest love We share a love far greater than The sum of all its parts. Two hearts that beat in unison, Enjoined by Cupid’s darts. We walk today a virgin path, Still eagerly traversed. Our destination yet unknown, Our future unrehearsed. This special bond that we now share, Amazing in its scope. Awash in total honesty, A wondrous gift of hope. And yet I sense your hesitance, To trust your passion’s lead. To practice such a quaint reserve, Can’t satisfy our needs. If this is not what love must be, I hunger not for love. Just grant me our comraderie, To never question of. Let inhibitions slip away, And grant yourself release. Surrender to that inner self, Embrace our perfect peace. Though faced with dire circumstance, We’ll ever persevere. For fellowship that’s based on truth, Must not engender fear. A love too fine for crass deceit, Or subtle masquerade. I pledge to never sully it, Engaged in trite charade. Now humbly I accept your heart, In gracious reverence, Indebted now beyond my means , Or hope of recompence. My heart is yours forevermore, To take at my insistence, Now do with it but what you will, You’ll meet with no resistance. If, God forbid, our days should end, I’ll stand erect and tall. A better man for having known, This greatest love of all. |

f, God forbid, our days should end, I’ll stand erect and tall. A better man for having known, This greatest love of all. Beautiful David! What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Samuel Coleridge |

My heart is yours forevermore, To take at my insistence, Now do with it but what you will, You’ll meet with no resistance Oh my ...forevermore?...mmmm..sounds nice!  no resistance?How much better of a man can you be? than this! Loved it! "Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O,no! it is an ever-fixed mark....William Shakespeare |

David, the thoughts and feelings expressed here were all so positive and warm. I like the way the poem moved from the beginning of an unknown relationship to look further down the track into the future. A great poem Tess "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

I enjoyed reading this poem as well. Such style and expression. I think Marge said it best for both of us. Welcome. Your a great addition to these ranks. A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
