The last verse got me. To me it speaks of repressed desire now released upon sharing the wealth of true love again.
Wonderful weaving of embroidered metaphor throughout.

Lots and lots of metaphors here Fay.
Very cleverly executed. I doubt it could be bested.

Good Evening Fay ~ love the visuals ! Thnaks for a very challenguing Poem. Bcause MEN are from Mars & LADIES are from Venus their understanding of & expectation from Love is very different ! In Youth Men are looking for *FLINGS* and Ladies for *FULFILMENT* This explains some of the frustrations of early couurtship ! I worked hard at it for over 15 years (17 - 33) then i met Angela when I was 33. A strong minded YANG met a strong minded YIN ! Our UNION worked because at a deeper level True Love i the same for YIN & YANG so we resonated and two isolated HEARTS became ONE ~ AMEN ! It is the superficial aspects of LOVE that clash and result in incompatibility ! TRUE LOVE is beyond human comprehension so it is not something to be debated but something to be EXPERIENCED & ENJOYED ! We would rather be together than with anyone else on Earth. We have now found what we were searching for in our Teens and twenties ~ AMEN Thanks for the challenge !
Blessings & Peace & Love

Simply irresistible!
Love shatters all defenses. It can be an immediate crashing , or a slow erosion. Hearts on fire will never be denied. Each and every home is a castle.
A terrific statement on true love. Great imagery and well chosen words. A nice way to start my day. -

\"I saw a giant of a man brought down by a thing called love\". \"Love will find a way\".
You are so right. These emotional ramparts i am so familiar with cry to be sacked by love. But oh my, the years have built them strong and high.
Reading you today had me feeling i was being reminded how false is my facade.

Some who were lovers can split and be friends.
Others who were lovers will be enemies to the end.
I think it depends on how much of the trust is lost.
Fay - a very truthful and thought provoking poem. - Phil A.

You have done it again Fay. This is a truly wonderful piece.
There are those who say question marks (and exclamation marks) shouldn\'t be used in poetry. Thanks for proving them wrong.
I\'m sure the person in the image is me when I was younger (the taller one).
Once again I\'m proud to ask if I may snap your fine write up for my Fayves.

Ooooooo FAY ~ This Poem frightened us when we first read it ! True Love is both tough & fragile at times so we can never ever take it for granted. We both feel that because our LOVE stood the test of 15 months & 11,500 miles separation when Angela was in New Zealand it will last forever ~ AMEN ! One of our Friends whose marriage split up recently after 17 years said *You must enjoy the BEST but (sadly) expect the WORST.* Love the picture (it looks just like us ~ no grey hairs yet !) and the poem. The last verse says it all *We can still be together ~ reinvent Peace* In our experience Marriages which endure a *crisis* are often stronger as a result ~ AMEN ! We are House Hunting ~ Please check *Home Sweet Home* Thanks !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛

Yes, though the passion and \'adoration\' has gone, it should never be forgotten that so much was \'right\' between two people who, till it failed, shared so much of their very existence together. After all that, you have to be friends don\'t you.
I met an ex 30 years after we had shared our lives. I wrote a poem about it entitled \'Joey\'. It\'s published on MPS (13/7/19).
After the solicitors had done their polarising work on my ex-wife and me, we still remain good friends (without regular contact) and i would hate it to be any other way to be honest.
Your piece today enters a realm many lovers are unable to cope with. Maybe understanding your words will bring a new insight to them

A nice offering today, Fay.
A Byron quotation finds itself with me as I read you.
\'Friendship is love without his wings\'
~ G.G. Byron
Catherine Cookson was inspired by this in writing her novel \'The Wingless Bird\'.
