Only Love... Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Only Love...

Rating: 5.0


Only the words are missing
For the feelings I haven't been expressing
Only the pictures are fading
From the love I haven't yet made to you
Only what I haven't yet been seeing
Lost in the time between the sun and the moon
Only what I haven't yet been hearing
Deafened by the whispers of your sorrow
Only what I haven't yet been experiencing
Spent within the lost and found of eternity
Only what I haven't yet tasted
Appetite of the mind
Hunger for the soul
Only what I haven't yet touched
All within our immortality


Today
I promise
To touch
All that is within you

Today
I promise
To experience
All that is within me
Today
I promise
To venture
Into the adventure

Today
I promise
To soar
Into the infinity
Of you
And me

What an amazing expression of love! It avoids tiresome cliches and finds instead a freshness which is so persuasive for being personal rather than generic. I like the structure: the opening section in a block of long lines gives your philosophy of love, citing both what you have fulfilled and what must still be fulfilled. You don't press your case or puff up your merits. This is simply honest to the core. That verse paragraph would make a satisfying poem. But then - you surprise us by putting your philosophy into action by the short-lined resolutions that push your poem from reverie into reality. And both parts are thoroughly persuasive. It shows me if we prepare ourselves to be true lovers and commit ourselves to that TRUTH OF LOVE, well, there will be TWO happy creatures.

When in a relationship, there is so much to be explored, so much to be shared so as to make it a lively and a lasting experience. The poet has put across the entire scenario rather beautifully. Thanks.
