Our love will last forever

by Peter Duncombe   Sep 20, 2011


If for you, my love should die would not Angels cry in heaven.
Sweet songs of birds be heard no more when sun heralds the dawn.
The waves would cease the shore to kiss with every tides embrace.
And flowers in bloom bow down their heads as if in sadness mourn.

The wind once mighty oaks did bend now but a whisper sighs.
Storm clouds drained of fury weep once raged on earth subsides.
Rivers fail the sea to greet ice and snows refuse to thaw.
Natures purpose in time suspended while all creation cries.

Could I then for you, my love deny and hasten forth such sorrow.
Then would surly I this universe reject and to dust return once more.
Fear not true heart for death shall conquer not this mortal soul.
Entwined our many lives to come for all eternity shall endure.

    HAHA... I just reread that and it sounded like I offended just about everyone... I should have said;
    "A large proportion of poets on this site are maybe too youthful to appreciate the use of literary techniques in this particular style of poem"

    This is a really excellent poem, It harks back to the classics of the 18th and 19 century, a truly masterful use of language.
    ... seriously this is really something.

    A large proportion of poets on this site are maybe too youthful :) to appreciate the use of literary techniques...
    I sense each line was masterfully crafted and each word deliberated on for long hours.
