Poem -
If Only
Oh, if only thine eyes can truly see the love that is there for eternity, and asks not of the whys or the hows
or the ways in which it avows the mystery
that is the very reason of our being. And if only thy blindness to the light of love can be lifted, then thee might find that beneath the veil of obscurity
lies a dormant vow that trails assuredly
from the very reason of our being.

Awesome !............................Jim
Thank you Jim! This was a poem that literally sprang to my mind. I knew I had to grab a pen and paper and when I did...this came out. From, seemingly, nowhere. I had no idea what I was going to write and all morning I ignored the urge for a pen until that urge consumed me. So I sat down and as soon as pen touched paper these words came out. It happened a while back but i just found the scrap of paper I'd written it on...so decided to post. Thanks for reading and leaving an encouraging comment x
Never ignore a prompting! so glad you wrote it!.................Jim " beneath the veil of obscurity" is awesome! I've got a poem that I am going to try and post " Beyond The Veil"
I will read your poem, Jim. I am off out right now but will search it out when I get back x
wonderful poem
yes when you have poem
in your mined you
have to get it out
or it will sit there
in your mind
intill its gone
Thankyou so much Greg. This poem happened too weirdly. I wrote it well over a year ago and just found it again. When I wrote the Shakespeare poem I had to look up all the the, thy, thou type words. But this was written before then and all those words were used and correctly so it appears. Glad you like it, and thank you for the pin x
Beautiful....
Awww...thank you very much, Lorris! Thank you too for the pin 😊 x
Deep. Love this line... and asks not of the why's or the how's..
Great inspired work.
Awww...Liliana, thank you! Glad you like it and thanks for pointing out the line you like. I really do appreciate your support, my friend. Thank you x
Wow I love it sound old school and philosophical! Beautifully penned. When the mind wants to write your hands do all the working! Px💜
Thank you sooo much, Prathiba! This was so weird the way it just came to me. I guess it must've just been in my mind for ages. Thanks for reading, my friend. Very much appreciate your support x
THANKS TO GOD BE THE GLORY
How lovely to see you on my page, Carl! Thank you so much for reading and for leaving a lovely comment. Happy Thanksgiving to you x
Before reading Jim's comments, I pick this as well
Post modern society thinks otherwise, however, and this is sad.
Hi Yiyan...thankyou for reading and letting me know what line particularly you liked. That's fabulous. Many, many thanks, my friend x
You're welcome. Usually pick one that is insightful to me ;)) The whole piece is great. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous ❤️ 😍
Awww...so glad you like it, Greg. Thanks for reading. A very happy Thanksgiving day to you and yours 🍗 x
Gotta run Tina!promise I'll respond tomorrow! (My time at least!)kind regards. Max
Xx
Hi Tina, love your work by the way, it's so very true. I think its human nature for us to second guess everything, especially in relationships, I find myself doing that from time to time, and its completely true, we should not focus on the specifics just that we are there for each other... I think that's what love is really about. Awesome poem again, kind regards, your friend Max
Hi Max, I definitely think we should look at the bigger picture in relationships. All it really is is being there for one another. We shouldn't stress over the little things. Focussing on one thing means that other parts are neglected. A garden needs to be tended as a whole. It's pointless having the best garden path when it winds through a tangled jungle. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. And by the way, I Love your way of thinking x
Hi Tina wow, such a way to express it, thing is I actually experience this a lot, saw my SO for the first time in ages and I was regretting it for some reason. I think I was caught up with the little things, believing I'm unforgiveable for thing I said over text. But in person it's the unconditional love for each other that really gets me. Even if we dont always understand each others problems we are always there as a reminder to the other that in the end we will be by their side no matter what. If you dont make a poem about this I will ;) kind regards and best wishes, your friend Max
Awww, Max...I do believe you are a romantic soul! Never let the little things taint the bigger picture. Hope all is well with you and your SO and the relationship goes from strength to strength x
Thanks Tina~ I hope you are well with your Journey too! It's a great adventure isn't it ;)? Your kindness means so much to me, more than you know
Hi dear Being Me, hope you are very well. A wonderful write. It has The Bard feel about it, quite powerful and thought provoking first line about eternal love. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing. xx
Thank you very much, Tony. This is one where I have no idea from where it came. Or even how. Obviously it came from the depths of me.
I am well and I hope you are too. Did you ever share my Sonnet 18 answer to your students?
Have a great day x
Reading your answer to Jim Wagley: yes, I also always feel that I do not write the poem, but the poem demands to be written in a certain form, never relenting till the job is done - even forcing me out of my bed in the middle of the night for to change a word.
Regarding the content: awesome indeed (my wife and me, we feel like we have been around each other for quite a few lives now, though not always as husband and wife - our eyes and ears are quite open to each other - hmm, as far as this subject is concerned, in real life I am getting somewhat deaf, so my wife has to repeat herself quite often🤣😰
Hi John! Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a lovely and insightful, comment. I guess that when you get the writing bug your mind never truly switches off!
Thank you so much for your support, I truly appreciate it x
Oh my goodness!!! Good job I popped over on the offchance isn't it or I would have missed this!! Please can you let me know when you post as you don't post often and these are so easy to miss though I check periodically...like now!
Tina this is so amazingly deep!!it is a lesson, a lesson that teaches what the essence of love truly is...or should be...or aspires to be. So much of what passes for love is a passing fancy or grown in the need of the the 'lovers' or just a replica born in shallow. You have written here about the heart of love Tina, it is a truly beautiful, wise and very spiritual piece of work and pinned, of course...hugs 💕
Hi Marion... I will let you know when I next post anything...I promise. Truth be told I don't normally tell anyone because I feel embarrassed to. But anyway, thank you so very, very much for your support. And I will let you know from now on.
This was a poem that just came to me. From out of the blue. It was most strange...even for my standards... I just had this overwhelming urge to grab a piece of paper and a pen. And as soon as I sat down...this came out. It is totally unedited...it came out like this. I posted it afterwards to a couple of places. Then I forgot about it. And then the other day I found the scrap of paper and remembered it. So I posted it
i am glad you like it. And yes, I think it is about love..And what it should be and mean. I thank you with all my heart for reading it and leaving your kind comments. 💕 x
Lovely lovely lines Tina, thanks for sharing such a wonderful inspirational piece. Cheers!
Thank YOU, Cleo, for reading! I appreciate your support, my friend. Thank you too, for lovely comment x
Being Me it's possible believe the Great Bard would have enjoyed reading your wonderful and heartfelt poem.
Echoes of Shakespeare neatly woven throughout.
A great write and a joy to read.
Thank you for sharing and take care.
Thank you Shaun. This was a weird one. It just came from out of the blue. It is how it happened...no editing. I knew I had to grab a pen and paper ...and as soon as I did this poem popped out. From nowhere.
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate the support x
Wow Being Me this gave me goosebumps! Absolutely amazing. So deep it pulls at your very soul as you read it. Like an awakening. Truly beautiful 💛 x
Hi Gwendoline. Thank you for reading. This was a very weird poem for me. It just came out of thin air. I wrote it down as it came. There is no editing whatsoever. Glad you like it ⚘x
Those can be the best kind of poems 😊 and this is proof as it’s wonderful x
Thank you again. That's very kind of you to say so ⚘x
Some words are just waiting to be strung together .. others are happy to wait for just the write moment .......... I reckon these words just got lucky and gave us all something of a win win ................. AGT's ..
Neville :) x
Thank you Neville. It is a poem that I am not entirely happy with but have left it as is because I dont know where it came from. It came out of thin air lol x
I write a lot like that .. I mean that I am not too happy with .. and then, there are those that I am most assuredly ashamed of x
Hahaha...but you write soooo well. You should not be ashamed of anything you write!
Careful now .. 😊
Truly another Masterpiece my dear friend.
You are pure magic.
Nothing but a heart grabber.
Thankyou for taking the time to read and comment on this poem, Wilford, I truly appreciate it. You are very kind and I sincerely thank you 😊 Bless you and Happy Easter to you and yours 🐣 xx
