An Eternal Love Poem by Elmer Romulo Valdez

An Eternal Love



Open your bright eyes,
Flower of my dreams!

The solitary marble bench,
The sparse graying grasses,
The other receding shadows,
And the impending heavy rain.

The signs of our love,
Are all laid around you...

Are you another sand castle,
Easily toppled by the wind?
Are you now a closed chapter,
In our sacred book of love?

I need your warm embrace,
As weakness overtakes me...

Reach out your guiding hand,
Light my way with your smile,
Bring back the understanding,
So that I will live again.

Hear me, fair flower,
This is for your heart...

I will always love you,
I will always cherish you,
You're my life and my light,
Tho' now you're out of sight!

Yes, Elmer. Another lovely piece with a pleasing structure. You have a great 'feel' for poetry and that's something (like having good pitch) that cannot be 'taught'. I like the images you use in the second stanza. Love poems need more than protestations of love. I look forward to reading more of your work. love, Allie xxxx
