In the Shadow of Love

Accidental Poet



I’ve lived my life

In love with you

Though I never expected

Love returned from you

 

To begin with

This love took me by surprise

It towered above me

As I looked into your eyes

 

With your unique smile

You wrote your name in my heart

And there it would stay

Always the deepest part

 

In years since you left

I treasure Cupid’s arrow

Enshrined within my heart

Thriving in love’s shadow

 

I thank you Sharon

For love’s meaning thereof

As I stand here today

In the shadow of love

    Good write AP. Is she 'Share-un', as in the rose's name?!

    • Accidental Poet

      Sharon, as in the rose's name. ; )

      • orchidee

        That's pronounced Share- un I think - the rose.

        One day AP that shadow will become the light and you will see each other once more.
