Love Poem- For Contest
There are three loves so far that I have found,
like triplets, different minds, similar face,
the first where one's feet do not touch the ground
two souls oblivious to time and space.
The second, when the giddiness subsides,
terms and conditions made, a course now set,
doubts cast aside, life now a smoother ride,
comfortable, as good as it will get.
The third a maelstrom, tempest, barren skies
her hand grips his lest they be torn apart
as age and pain rinse colour from the eyes
and circumstance assays the strongest heart.
But as the years progress I feel maybe
there is a fourth love, even greater than the three
whose combined works make it like yeast arise,
a love, once faith, becomes one that we see
when one is taken from the other's eyes.
That fourth love is not a 'where', 'tis but a 'when'
but be assured- I love you until then.
