Be To Me.
Be to me eternity's song
and not as lust's transient notes.
Be as the forever of strong
affection and not just for moments.
Be like faith without limit
and not as doubt's breakable bond.
Be to me true as infinity
for heaven applauds meant resolve.
Be alight to ageless passion
and not just in first blush of youth.
Be to me fire ever lasting
for such keeps alive love's lit beauty.

A fine write Fay.
You want me to sing to you for eternity? It'll be torture for ya! I'm a wag. lol.
Sing away Orchi. and thank you for your read and comment.
Beautiful words Fay 🙂🌸
Thank you for reading and commenting Rose.
this is yet another fine example of why I first fell in love with poetry .. x
Love that you spoil me and thank you an absolute load .............
Brilliant!!!
Really appreciate the generous word you chose for this poem L.B. - thanking you most sincerely
Unsure here whether this is directed to a partner or to the joy of the glory of creation and one's faith in such.
For me it was easier to interpret this piece as the latter. For my faith in my beliefs is strong and committed. Each day I find some things to marvel over.
Tis directed to whom you as a reader wish my dear Dusky - the glory of nature is certainly something for which we can write lines of applause as love of its gifts lights its genuine beauty - a lovely comment and thank you for your visit.
Lust is quite transient, I agree with that. A subtle yearning for a genuine connection. Lovely 😀
Yes Nick love is not transient as is lust but is builds as it grows with infinity its goal......... thanks ever so for your visit and comment.
Wonderful Dear Fay
For an old schooler like me
Be there as a poetry
Not as a passing moment
Be there for eternity
Not a sudden visit
Loved your words dear Fay
Fay, I really was pleased to read that you were motivated by the graphic, because yesterday I tried (and failed) to explain how ‘Love’ for me is not something which can be attractively rapped up and presented as a fait accompli in flowery verse, but is dynamic ever changing never final or static. The graphic expresses this – the pieces have a way to go, perfection is still ahead. Your poem captures that: it is so much more than ‘just in first blush of youth.’
Dear Dave - -Am delighted you discovered the reason for the chosen graphic - -- indeed love is ever dynamic and my thanks for your wise and most welcome comment on love's wavering way toward perfection. Thanks so much for dropping by for a read of Be To Me.
Wonderful positive words Fay.
Andy
A timeless write this, dear Fay. Timeless!
