Very simple but moving love poem. It tells of a strong and everlasting love. The repetition creates a flow in the poem and also shows the flow of love.

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing.

Thanks, Eric. I have noticed a fe entries that I wouldn't call genuine love poems, and yet that was the only real condition!

I don't call writing about hat love is, a love poem, do you?

I agree Steve, I have reviewed 95% of them and less than 50% are true to the criteria.

I am a sucker for great rhymes! you had them in spades! Your sentiment was sweet and though I rarely like repetitive repeating opening lines I love you more... This one flowed so well with your great descriptive juices flowing...
I especially liked: more than monuments,
their words engraved in stone

write on and good luck-Di

Hi, Di - see I make rhymes without even trying...

I know what you mean about the repetition - it's a tool I rarely use, but seemed right here.

Thanks for stopping by - lots more sweet rhymes in my portfolio.

I like the way in which all the "mores" build and build, each an idyllic scene, until the final culmination, " though the seas roll on forever, I'll always love you more". Microcosm to Macrocosm and beyond.

And thanks again.

Yes, I did want to 'build'. I originally had lines from that last stanza earlier in the poem, but did a switch so I could finish on that particular note - glad you think it worked.

I admired your string of hyperbole and pure rhymes that intensify your message. Your choice of the lovely photograph and font complement the theme well. Your conclusion is very appealing also. Best wishes in the love poem contest and happy Sunday- Joan

Steve;
such a very beautifully well-written love poem that was very enjoyable to read.
Within your two versus your rhyming was done very well and neither forced nor labored. While it helped with the rhythmic flow would seem to flow smoothly throughout your writing.
The imagery was romantically descriptive, as well as enchantingly expressive throughout your lines: "I love you more than oceans' crashing waves upon the shore. Though the seas roll on forever, oh, I will always love you more." Such lines like these are endearing love for lovers who are deeply in love with each other.
Thank you for sharing and posting this for everyone to read and may all your endeavors be as good as this one.
Alex

Good luck in the contest. I think you're poem is lovely. I liked the way you expressed love in the poem by comparing love to something else. It's an easy way to follow the expression....
