The Power Of Love Poem by Hazel Durham

The Power Of Love

Rating: 5.0


I see the terrible haunted look in your frenzied eyes,
As you peer intensely into the magnifying glass
At the middle aged couple smiling in the picture,
I know the unhappiness you try to endure,

Like a dark cloak of destiny swirls around you and lures.
You searched for your kind of beauty and you found me,
Another broken soul,
Inviting me into your loving fold,

I care about your past that will always last,
I watch you staring at the picture like a gift from the past,
Of lost friends, lost family and your lost soul that was your land,
You dare to take that step back as you search for your youth,

With the constant magic of the dependable music of rock bands,
My love for you is drenching myself in your life, your land!
The changing skies of County Offaly hold the lies,
Lies of a farm that was never yours on paper,

It was like a bolt of lightning from angry skies,
I love you and i want to see your hurt turn to acceptance,
Of our bountiful life together
That we may hear the music and dance,

We are blooming here in Carlow,
Our love is clear skies with the sun healing and appealing,
Our saturated feelings,
Of our desires, care and respect,

No more loneliness in bed staring at a cold ceiling,
We have the beauty of our entwined feelings,
The haunted, you wanted a soul to find a soul,
We strike out with the power of love so bold.

So life is made beautiful and meaningful with the alliance of two souls once equally lost! Again they don't have to lie lonely staring at the ceiling! They will be there for each other to share and care! Beautiful poem!

A poem of hope, of restoring hope, of accepting the person we love, unconditionally, and finally enjoying life's most precious gift to a human heart - its capacity to love and its endurance. An intense, soulful write.

The poem has many feelings inside it, of sorrow, happiness, solitude, glory. You also nicely detail the moment like it was a short movie in poetry that capture essence of story, emotions, reality and every little bit of them in a bowl for us to taste while reading it..to me it is wonderfup poem...It just dont think about past young time, but be forever young everytime to enjoy every moment you have now. No one is growing old but bodies not souls. love it

A person who has lost his soul which was his land, disturbs a lot. but as a whole the two different souls from two different places have had the same experiences; one might have lost something through the culture and the other through the hands of peace speaking war mongers...i would not know the scenes might have been very different., , At last love blooms in the hearts of two and it is a good feeling for readers like me..Thank you for sharing your thought Hazel
