Like a devoted singer clings to rhyme,
with words as precious as the spice of youth,
my love, made sure by feelings divine,
lives within the mercy of the warmth of you
whether I'm thoughtless, loving, or stained, or clean,
or searching my own faults, or none, or more,
regardless of the flight of past scenes
I give my heart invested in your worth.
So since I am not dead, sick, nor denied
such is this virtue where my substance is.
Might I then cry indebted while alive
to be a part of your uncommon gift.
So what is left, is left for you to see
This love I live, much more for you than me.

love that closing lines intend....
your rhymes rock Poet pal...so good to find your name here today..
Happy New Year Eric...heres to a year full of song and verse and all that inspires you.

Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past?
With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last.

What a great finish, don't we all do that for those we love? Great job on this piece, what a nicely wrapped package!

Beautiful!

Thanks to all for the positive comments and the input I appreciate it so much.

I wish you all safe and happy up and coming twelve months and will be looking forward to talking to you through that time.
