My Heart’s Forever Wife

Accidental Poet



 

From day one

At first sight of you

Now, fifty-four years ago

To you Sharon, my heart was due

 

For four years you hadn’t known

I was your secret admirer

And telling you, “I Love You”

My heart’s only true desire

 

A life altering experience

A young boy falling in love

Suddenly I knew why

Lovers wished on stars above

 

And although I knew

I needed love too

I never expected

To have love returned from you

 

I was just so captivated

At sight of your smile

So thoroughly enchanted

Mesmerized of your style

 

And after confessing

My secret love for you

Before you moved away

“Good-bye” so hard to say, I knew

 

And now after so much time

I’d give anything to hold you

To gaze upon your smile again

A feeling I never outgrew

 

You owe me no apologies

As you’ve already filled my life

My memories of you Sharon

My heart’s forever wife

      And it'll go with me to my grave. Thanks for the visit Andy. 😉

    • L. B. Mek

      so sad, yet there's beauty - too, unquestionably:
      (who of us, imbued with regret's scorching blood
      haven't got rooms, with broken neon lights above
      naming, that one who'll always have a permanent,
      place: in the depths of our heart's..)
      thanks for sharing, so bravely dear poet

        Thanks LB, I've never seen it as sad. Its always been a blessing I'll forever be grateful for.

        That's beautiful AP. I'd love to know your story

        • Accidental Poet

          Thanks Sax, my story is here in the pages of MPS. Every poem with the "Rose of Sharon" logo was written with Sharon in mind.

          A memory made years back still feels so near and your verse spells its hold as moments move onward - that final line had me near tears so poignant with what ifs and supposing -- a moving read A.P,

            Thank you Fay. A long road its been, but a road I'll always look back on and smile. 😊
