My Constant

You are My Constant, touching my skies

and surrounding me with the pleasure

of your existence.

This is an ancient truth

held by the hand of time

and cannot be concealed

or brought down,

futile is resistance.

I will never exhibit thorns

in between my words

or to your feelings

when walking alone

on the shores of my sea.

You are My Constant,

sailing always in the back of my mind,

a ship flying your colors

to the port of me.

You are My Constant.

The one I can never forget.

Without words you have spoken

to my heart

all these years.

You are my sun,

the light of all my hope.

My Constant,

the one I hold inside my heart,

most dear.

"There is no fear in Love for perfect Love casts out fear because fear involves torment." 1st John Holy Bible

We come to Love because Love comes to us...in our minds...our hearts...our consciences. Wonderful thoughts here well presented. Bless.

Your poetry is romantic, old school, with a new twist. I love the repetition of "You are my constant"...really beautiful poem, great job.

Southall's richly coloured painting. the woman looking into a distance place, she waiting, wanting .. is perfect. Your words as ever and always are as rich and finely threaded. I love your work, pure and simple, Neva. Reading a second time, i realise that it's not merely a poem to love but to desire, passion, lust: fired and ready - 'futile in resistance'

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]

Thank you Emma :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]
