My Enough is You

trying the romance

the years pass 

faster than we realise

but looking back 

at you 

at me 

at us 

i can see 

what we together 

have created 

a life 

passion is life 

for us 

and 

we have fought 

oh, we have fought 

i have always held fire

you have always 

doused me away 

in stubbornness 

yet 

we always shared 

a common goal 

the best 

simply the best 

for each other 

i cannot deny 

my love for you 

for it has grown 

into something 

much bigger than

both of us 

it contains us 

and yet still 

finds ways 

of blossoming anew

you let me be me

i know who you are 

although we are opposites 

with my head in the clouds 

you always at the ready to

reel me back 

keeping me grounded 

for my own good 

and yet 

you have always let me soar

knowing every inch of my body 

your love is expressed 

in the complete adoration 

in our lovemaking 

finding new treasures

to take us momentarily away 

longer, deeper, further

attaining new levels of 

complete bliss

abandonment

ecstasy

unadulterated pleasure

 

only serving to bring us 

closer together

to know someone 

completely 

honestly 

to accept them 

completely 

honestly 

to love them 

completely 

honestly 

that is a love 

above love 

reserved for 

the fortunate 

who are awake enough 

to know 

‘when is enough’

my enough 

is everything that is 

you

My enough is you could bring a warm embrace. A very soft kiss. A long talk with a long walk in a park. Dinner for two lots of conversation lovely gestures of passion Its about honesty and truths. I love reading it so much I scrambled through it again.

Another great masterpiece, KWP! Im so happy, this poem is really just an amazing work of art that people need to realize to have, so awesome job, and I cant wait to read more. I like the structure, it kind of comliments the poem, like wine compliments a fancy meal. So awesome job. How do you do it? Just awesome!

What I find so refreshingly rewarding with this poem of adulation, is the overall message conveyed throughout, this love has not evaporated one iota, au contraire, it has stood the test of time with all its tribulations throughout and has become even stronger !

Togetherness at its most blissful, romantic best !

I love the flow of this poem. Each line takes the reader to the next with consummate ease. I have to say that I feel punctuation would enhance it but I am good at adding my own to a poem mentally so I didn't need it to be added in to see what a gold mine this poem is. It's a lovely tribute to a life partner and is all the more appropriate to me as the wife of a couple I knew that had been married longer than some people live died on Sunday evening. It's lovely.

I suck at romanticism I just don't get it maybe someone stole that switch from me before birth, strangely enough I love the romantics in music but that aside I think I might just be a victim of wrong images as some of the "ladies" (As I am not!!) commented and sadly I read it but maybe it means something different to them. As this is a reflection of a very well developed relationship of great respect, mutual understanding which means open communication, accompaniment and acceptance of where they are at. Also the nice feeling that you seem to be walking together on a path of complementing one another.

Maybe an opener for me I like this "romanticism"

Thankyou
