How Long Is Forever

by Sylvia   Mar 27, 2009


Quote by Toto
As soon as forever is through, I'll be over you.

I beseech thee, how long is forever?
Limitless, endless, infinite.
No matter how it is defined,
forever never ends,
nor shall I ever be o'er thee.

Youthful or aged,
a crushed, shattered heart,
dost not discriminate.
No more, no less anguish,
'tis the ultimate price
we bear for love.

    Sylvia,
    So much truth to the feelings portrayed here. Reminds me of my divorce and how I didn't want to get one for the pure and simple fact that I thought forever was forever. Needless to say somethings are better left than done. Anyways, a beautiful poem you have woven and I sincerely adore the "how long is forever gonna last" theme of it all. Loved the emotions in the poem. Great Job.
    Take Care,
    Kay
