Forever and a day

Even longer...

 

 

 

Forever and a day

 

 ~

Gentle is the touch

Cherished is the feel

Dancing on the wind

Finding what is real

Lonely are the nights

Here so far away

Climb into my heart

Eternally to stay

~

Clinging to a vine

Running through the streets

Searching for the time

Obstacles we meet

Laughing at the ways

Someone else might think

Standing on the edge

Coming to the brink

~

Listen to my song

Sweet the words I sing

Only to your heart

Please I pray you bring

Flowers to the park

Smiles all around

Your angelic voice

Heaven is the sound

~

Beating is my heart

Dreams they can come true

If you find the dream

Includes me and you

Happiness shall be

In the form of love

Come and walk with me

Beneath stars above

~

Give to me your hand

Never let me go

I shall be your man

You are sure to know

When the day appears

Breathe a wondrous sigh

Put away your fears

Never more to cry

Listen to my words

As I promise true

Forever and a day

I’ll be loving you

~

A gorgeous, stunning poem...a true gem indeed. I love the cadence of it and the message that it conveys. May I suggest:
Just to keep in touch of the meter, take away the before stars in the fourth stanza. Just a suggestion.
:)

Thank you so very much Sarahlin for stopping by and leaving such kind words for me.

Full of love and romance makes its all seem so real and possible. A joyfully, beautiful poem Jack.

[Jack...]

It is possible my friend, it is. Thank you for finding this and gracing my page with your beautiful smile.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Welcome Jack. It's always a pleasure

[kublakhan27]

This is something I relate to effortlessly...you had me at the first stanza with this one...not much else I can say really, your images and the scenes they paint are lilting and idyllic...you always manage to leave me absorbed in your words...great work Jack :)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Steve. I always enjoy your thoughts...

[Keith]

Nice read Jack, hell you do a great rhymer whenever you swing that way. Enjoyed that one.

[Jack...]

Thank so much Keith. There was a time when all I wrote was rhyming poetry, until I came here and fell in love with free-verse. I have learned so much here from all of you talented poets.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Ah, this is so romantic, Jack....especially the finale.

"Forever and a day
I’ll be loving you"

I tried reading this from bottom to top, and still, it didn't change it's beauty. The words are so beautiful, Jack. I like the format.

Excellent!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Dhaye. I had never thought of reading it from bottom to top, I just tried...pretty cool. Thanks for seeing that in this piece and bringing your smile to my world today.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

You're welcome. :)

[icelandicblue]

What a lovely cadence this piece has. The rhyme adds to the sweetness that is sprinkled throughout this lovely poem. This was a pleasure to read.

[Jack...]

Anne, always I look forward to your visits. Thank you so much my good friend.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

The inversions of words here are simply lovely. :)

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Blue.

[MsJewel]

Now what woman wouldn't want to accept an invitation like this to walk beneath the stars with someone who pens such romance and beauty. This is the kind of love poem that I could just wrap myself up in on a cloudy day, like a blanket of sunshine to keep me warm.

Lovely my friend. Simply lovely.

:) Julie

[Jack...]

Geez, thanks so much Julie. You are far to kind to me. I do appreciate you.

[Pryde Foltz]

Loved the rhythm and sentiment of this piece. It seems playful to me.

[Jack...]

Hopefully it made you smile Pryde. Thanks so much.
