A Golden Thread Poem by Peter Strugnell

A Golden Thread

Rating: 4.3


It feels so right, I can't believe my luck,
I go carefully, with a full cup,
you're my heroine, you make me stronger,
just when I feel, I can't go on any longer,
sometimes a breeze, and sometimes perilous,
our story continues, and it began thus.

And when in life, I would lose my way,
it was you honey, who would hold me sway,
when I've lost faith, in all of mankind,
it's you i look for, and it's you i find,
our love consumes, but at a slow burn,
a faster love ain't my concern.



A golden thread that never rusts,
drawn in elegance and wound in trust,
a golden thread our lives entwined,
it holds us together but it doesn't bind,
a thread so fine and delicately spun,
where two broken strands can become one.

You make me laugh and you make me blue,
still I want to see the autumn colours with you,
don't want to leave you with the wrong impression,
or for my feelings to go without expression,
we've had more highs than we've had lows,
just want to say what your heart already knows,

A golden thread that never rusts,
drawn in elegance and wound in trust,
a golden thread our lives entwined,
it holds us together but it doesn't bind,
a thread so fine and delicately spun,
where two broken strands can become one.

A golden thread still intact even when time, distance and pieces of paper say otherwise

It was certainly sincere at the time of writing, The jury's verdict on the prosecution - there are two guilty parties when a couple break down, many thanks

Rule of law: inherent duty on the Prosecution to prove the prisoner's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The poet actually proving his sincerity and trust in such committed and pure love in such smooth but intense poem. Well written and beautiful.
