Silence of Our Love ![]() Before the end upcoming, in which the moments shall forever twist into what we cater as eternal whithering; as one will rest in the arms of friends and the depths of lovers, in this dwelling of youth, upon the face of earth. Kissing the once inspiration of two souls in their determined struggle to find the peace of eventual happenings in the sunrise of tomorrow All seems to be as it never would have been dealt without dedication As in our never ending love, as it guides us to the everlasting truth in love within our hearts; with the patience residing in the recesses, claiming never to have been tainted; giving us pleasure of trust Happiness forever urging us forward; guiding us to the peaceful silence of our love.

Mark* As I have said before and will say again...you are an amazing poet. This is merely another example of what you can write when you dive to the depths of heart and soul. You created a work of art in this piece...and ya so I'm a little biased but that comes with friendship...and in this case doesn't play into my opinion at all. Congratulation on your 3000th...tis a beauty! **Angel Wing Hugs and Butterfly Kisses** To you my sweet poetic friend~ |

"As in our never ending love, as it guides us to the everlasting truth in love within our hearts; with the patience residing in the recesses, claiming never to have been tainted; giving us pleasure of trust" This really talked to me and gives me a little hope in that in which lies away from me....this was very nice....I liked the different style you used here with this!!
