Genesis Evermore


A shy little boy of only eight
Handed her a single red rose
Childhood friends and forever soul mates
So here is how the story goes

To the senior prom they went
A red rose fragrant her corsage
Such power to its scent
True love could never a mirage

Giggling, she threw the bouquet
From the steps of the church
Red roses for her wedding day
No more would they search

Years gone and times changed
But not the garden they had grown
Their proof of unity, never estranged
Heart to heart, they will never walk alone


10 years since he departed
Still she receives roses from her groom
A reminder of how love got started
That stretches beyond tomb

The bush that he planted
Only blooms but one day a year
For a love that was never taken for granted
She recalls with a tear

Their anniversary, a day she holds dear
A miracle rose straight from his shore
Two different realms, but one message is clear.
With a soul mate bringsā€¦Genesis evermore

Marina... well, I also love writing love poems, and though i have true feelings, they are hard to describe with words, your poem has just reminded me what love should be like and you have my biggest appreciation here.. (It's as if the poem's narrated one's life, so touching, I really want to see more of your poems..Marina).... I want to give you at least 100 votes for this one..
