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

        Of love we write . Lost loves seems to be what brings the words into our thoughts and have us describe the deep feelings that still remain in us. Very well written my friend.
