Emotional Romantic:

[lanaia74]

I know within my heart, even thought, you are no longer here
Your energy, will remain forever by my side
Some people choose to believe you are forever gone, but to me this fact remains to me very clear
Soul mates we are and I will forever remain, your bride

When we took our vows so long ago, we meant them to be forever and a day
Some would choose to think, for grief's sake, within my mind, this I fantasize
But deep within my soul, I know the truth, and from this I will never sway
We lived a good life on this earth, as to your death, I have no whys

A love that was as deep as ours, only those that have shared the same thing, would understand
A pact made between lovers, soul mates, that our love will never die
A love so strong that is transcends life and death, time and space, as infinite as my wedding band
So I only mourn the time, I will not see you for a while, this is why I cry

But I can't tell others this, I would only gain their pity and sympathy
Them thinking, I am so grief stricken, I am imagining things
So, I silently smile to myself, knowing you by my side, this will always be
If the world would understand, this message to the world, I would happily sing

But no, the secret I possess, will forever remain within my soul
Knowing you will always be with me in my dreams
Your death, just taking you to a different place, waiting this will be my only toll
But until that day, you will always be beside me, always and forever, if only in my dreams

There is a lovely and "deep abiding love "concept in this piece. Isn't it just so peaceful and fabulously satisfying to feel those with us who have passed on?

Hi LANAIA - this poem is quite beautiful actually - the concept. The writing is stated eloquently, softly, matter-of-factly! I like it.

I was actually browsing my personal website a little earlier - I have a dedication to my favorite Auntie who passed back in 2005 from her battle with breast cancer. Wow! I thought to myself WOW! Has it really been that long...

But anyway - not to dwell on that. But the concept of having a loved-one with you throughout eternity.... That seems just beautiful to me.

Then your poem takes on a more intimate quality:

The Following Text Is Quoted:

So, I silently smile to myself, knowing you by my side, this will always be
If the world would understand, this message to the world, I would happily sing

And I just had to smile (ever inwardly) to myself - I know this feeling well.
Nice writing!

Thanx for the share.

ALSO - If I may endeavor to be silly for a moment...
