Until The Day Poem by Lora Colon
Until The Day
I cannot reach nor touch the stars,
Yet I know they dwell high above,
And though you are far from my reach,
Distance cannot weaken this love;
Your touch is not familiar,
When I speak, you do not hear me,
Yet as I wake to greet each dawn
I feel your spirit so near me;
And I swear by all the stars in the sky,
I will love you until the day I die
Though your love is a distant dream,
What joy to my heart it does bring,
This voice, used for cursing anguish,
Had forgotten that it could sing;
Now sweet melodies venture forth
While my heart writes each loving word,
Though such songs have often been sung,
Love has a voice that must be heard;
And so I'll chant as the moon sails the sky:
I will love you until the day I die
Some may think a spell blinded me
To all others so I'd choose you,
I only know I could not live
If ever I were to lose you;
Look! Eden's gates are opening,
Once again, Paradise revealed;
Shall we dare to trespass those grounds?
Soon the gates will close and be sealed;
Yes! Let us enter when God blinks his eye,
And let us love until the day we die!
Marital love is great. You may like to read my poem, Love and Lust. Thanks
Sing of love poor wretched bird, Sing softly in your gilded cage. Sing of freedom little bird, Hark not the self appointed sage.
Lora, if you're going to write formal verse, you need to know what you're doing. Read some good formal poems by Elizabeth Bishop if you want to move beyond awkward phrasing and conventional expressions. If you have time, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Tell me how you like it. Yrs, JC
Thank you for taking time to comment. To be perfectly honest, I am not striving to become a poet of renown. I simply write my feelings, what my heart dictates. I admire the poets of long ago, with their old fashioned sentiments and what are now considered to be worn-out or conventional expressions. I like referring to them because they express how I feel, and modern words or phrases just wouldn't feel right to me. But I thank you for your input. It is appreciated. Lora
And lets love untill the day we die A great wish made in a few words... I like it...thanks for sharing
