JoelJosol Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Her popping up a question, 'Do you still write poems?' is like opening up a path to a river that could lead into some falls, 'I still do' was my reply. I could hear the rushing waters off a cliff, as she moved around to peer at me asking 'Do you still write about me?' 'I still do' was my reply. 'All the words you wrote,' she said, ' and the love and passion in them, are for no other but me?' Yes, and they still do. I can see the rushing river towards the falls, when she asked, 'Will you fall with me once more to unknown depths?', No words are needed for a reply. (NOTE: This is the poem that dropped in my head one evening from nowhere for our upcoming 35th anniversary. Might need to tweak it still until the anniversary day.)

gurunAthan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Lovely! Indeed. Love flows like a river and dives into a cascade. And then, it dwells on the plains, and gushes up like a fountain, as the couple become more and more senior. gurunAthan ramaNi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoelJosol Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Thanks Tony for the read. She is with me helping me recover from a microlaryngeal surgery to remove a nodule off my throat.
