Love Changes Poem by Barry Middleton

I claim true love can never last
but changes to regret

or even worse to bitterness
that we cannot forget

for I am certain love can fade
like sunset veils the light

but still it lingers like the stars
that yet control the night

and like the stars love beckons us
we always take the dare

I bow to the inevitable
I recommend great care

but when I claim that love can't last
please try to prove me wrong

and keep the fire of love alive
and burning bright and strong
