Love That Binds Not Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Love That Binds Not

Rating: 5.0


LOVE THAT BINDS NOT
Just for thee would I wait while the weight
of that waiting brings home that our fate
must henceforth intertwine,
so the good that is mine
may forever be thine, while the date
of our meeting intrances twinned minds
bringing tenderness, joy as each finds
in each other a light
firm and fixed, ever bright,
love that blinds not as never it binds!

Love inspires poet’s fire and the rate
of hearts' keys which words seize early, late
rhyme and reason combine
heart and spirit, refine
bliss euphoric - to ever elate.

Adoration, osmosis is state,
by thy side, - be my bride - won’t abate,
motives pure, underlined,
Time defy, heal wait blind;
Heaven sent, sweet, true sentiments sate.

May youth's promise age perpetuate,
truth is beauty one can't overstate,
for thy blossom is sign
of some divine design
all humanity anticipate.

Ocean deep leap emotions few fête,
Heart to heart, both near, far, must equate
dream team gleams unresigned
to conventions unkind,
with no envy to guard garden gate.
