Love starts where no love lives;
where no heart crys for lovers of sweet needs
lost in their smiles
and speaking love with slow words filled with hope
the words of light
straight from the fumes where the flame lights the mist.

Pictures endear the ancient hallways
lust, birth and friendship
withdrawing all of history's fathers
from wells pouring from the night dreamers
pot of wet glue
shot out of the cup running and flowing.

An angel in the night
firm breasts to grip and taste for the first touch;
where no fool gives
pure strength to men, undaunted in the head
filled with the truth
where true love stays, an urgent place to share.

Still they must beckon again their wants
lying in the flower bed
with such encasing needs deep in their love.
Late they may whince at worries of a kind
and cry in weak grief
in the first person of lonely sweet needs.

Love breeds inside their chambers;
from truth to sex til the old talking mood
comes to such friends;
no hurt, no lies, just lovers of their time
stuck to the moon
reclining in a pool of well oiled years.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

A wonderful tribute to those who stay the course.
I tried and unfortunately, after 24 years, I failed.
Now I have a new love and I believe that it will last like the one in your poem.
Very well written.

"no hurt, no lies, just lovers of their time

perfect phrasing, et... this is a lovely piece... not that i can identify with it, unfortunately... love has always worked for me like a broken tape recorder playing the part of the song you don't want to hear over and over... LOL... and it lasts about as long as a snickers bar (but boy, i LOVE a snickers bar)...

this one's dedicated to those lucky ones, i guess... maybe one day i will be one of them

thanks for a great read!

ethome, an inspiring testimonial to devotion, dedication and commitment. If this is autobiographical in nature, my admiration and congratulations to you.

Thanks so much Jenn E appreciate the comments so much.

Thank you Doreen I am sure you are going to get that tape recorder fixed and get on with a long lasting Snickers bar..

Thanks Claire that is partially true but like so many others after many years of marriage I also fell into the canyon of separation. But all those years married are the inspiration for this work.
