Love poetry

I gave my life and love to one man
over forty years in the past,
knowing that our love would last.
Many poems within this group
include his and my lives intertwined
making one long chain ever strong.

But some love poetry may not be ours,
but painful emotion felt by another,
even if the feelings sometimes smother.
So I often write what screams inside,
even that which describes the birth
of love or the pain felt by its death.

Welcome to my poetry of love and romance.
