A promise of love came at twilight,
Knocking upon this beggar's door,
I stood trembling as it let itself in,
Its charity shook me to the core
Love opened the door and we embraced,
And a sweet voice spoke to my soul,
Tears begin to fall as I remember
Love's tender words starting to unfold
Love told me I'd be Queen forever,
Eternal love would mark my reign,
Those words settled snugly inside my heart,
Loneliness departed with its pain
Then I watched the door slowly closing,
I knew love was here to stay,
Its wandering days had come to an end,
Now, together we greet each new day
From books and teachers I learned of life,
But nothing prepared me for
The thrill and wondrous joy that I felt
When, so gently, Love opened the door
May this courtship remain ever lasting! A nice, soothing poem.10/10.

The poet says, 'From books and teachers I learned of life' but I forgot everything when love opened the door. A unique poem. Loved the liquid movement of words from top to bottom. A fabulous poem.

Not long ago, after bitter disappointment, I had locked the door very tight. Yet, love still found a way to open the door. The last two lines are so very true.
