Span

Stay with me let me hold your hand

Fear not the flames of our desires

Like the fireflies in Meadowland

They need freedom to flare their lights.

 

Across the valley, over the hill

To where the sweet-sounding fantail

And the wind delivers its trill

Words of our souls we will proclaim.

 

Dread not the sights of love, like air

Its beauty will fly us in bliss

Even the saints will dare to stare

‘til they beg they must be dismissed.

 

If earthly names will take our flight

Stay with me I will hold your hand

We’ll fill each other's fingers span

In a yard of a thousand thyme

 

Nor, when tick of time will descend

When our blooms will begin to fade

When the night will become a blade

I will stay still to hold your hand 

 

I will stay still to hold your hand

Dread not the sights of love, like air
Its beauty will fly us in bliss
Even the saints will dare to stare
‘til they beg they must be dismissed.

Purely amazing poetry!

[KAin]

Honour and loyalty in poetry, woven tightly with true romance. Love and commitment are taken far too lightly these days, but the poem suggests the truth of what both can be - a journey to solitary and forgotten places - places that would feel lonesome and perhaps a little frightening if you didn't have that one person you trusted entwining their fingers with your own.

Amazing work, Belle.

The poem is amazing. The above lines were amazing. I like the journey and the places you took me with. Love should be accepted freely without fear. A very good closing lines to the excellent poetry.

Perfect picture to go with this beautiful piece. I noticed the hand and the reflection of another hand on the water both have a wedding ring . This poem is about love, marriage and fulfilling vows and life long commitment. You are really different Belle . This time your words are so romantic and deep. I'm still amaze how you put something this beautiful together. I like the idea and the theme of growing old with your soul mate and still staying true to your marriage vows . Till death do us part. I would and always hold your hand.
