Upon the waves of love

Upon the waves of love

 

 

Why did you love me,

is the question Elves and the souls of Earth and Haven ask each and every day.

 

How could you love “ME”?

 

I’m an old man with an old soul,

and yet I am young at heart.

 

How could love have found me,

after so many years?

 

After so many heart breaks,

I fled into the darkness in my life.

 

But on the shores you held me,

on full moons light you kissed me.

 

You held me while I shivered,

and cried.

 

You loved me when no other would,

you loved me and I don’t know why.

 

Upon Epic heart breaks,

you stole my love and made it your own.

 

On the suns morning light and full moon,

I declare my love for you,

a love so true and strong no other could deny it.

 

But in the shadow of Romeo and Juliet,

my heart was torn form it’s foundation.

 

Torn and burned,

turned to ash in a blink of an eye.

 

I begged for your heart,

but a fathers love of his daughter,

turned me away.

 

Now my heart hides in the shadows once again,

born to never love again.

The pitfalls of heartache you have described so beautifully; I know love poems are clique, but I think they are suppose to be...the story is beautiful and heartfelt. I loved every single word: On the suns morning light and full moon, I declare my love for you, a love so true and strong no other could deny it.
Great writing. Thank you so very much. Dale

Thank you so much Confuser for your kind words.
I don't think love poems are clique, I think they evolve differently with each of us.

[Confuser]

You are right! If we read the "masters" that's been said, but I do disagree, like you. I believe they evolve differently with each of us through life's experiences; good and bad. You're welcome. Dale

I could not understand this poem entirely,still felt that this poem got even deeper meaning that i could ever understand,very carefully chosen words and nicely framed sentences..
