A beautiful love poem Nomi and I do think it must have love at first sight and how fortunate to have found that soulmate. I know you said it was something that you dreamed but you have put it in words beautifully.

Well done.

Blessings

    Actually only the initial meeting was made up, the rest of it is very real. We have been together for 46 years and still going strong.

This is a perfect love poem. The vivid details made your work come alive for me, as did the fairy tale ending. The image is a perfect compliment. This may not be a true story but it is obvious that you know what "love" is. Check the last line for typo: my, change to may
Have a great evening.
Brigitte

You've written a very realistic account of love at first sight, and I believed it until I read your confession. You must be a con man.

I don't think it's even poetry, but what the heck, it's a good read.

    Poetry, prose? Does it really matter. It is poetic and I am happy with it. Thank you for your comments.

You are indeed fortunate to have found a lasting love that only grows deeper as you age. That is one of the great treasures on this earth. Good for you

Man, your story poem is so beautiful that it made me quiver from the sheer spiritual, dedication and love. Such a great historical account of your meeting and the joy of your everlasting love. So great you hold on to a loved one, while many of us have broken torn relationships started off perfectly, like my baby's daddy, then ended up in disasters. lol liberty justice

    Thank you. I am sorry that your relationship did not last and did not remain happy. I am pleased to say that my wife and I have been married for f44 years and together for 46.

Hello Nomi,

I think it has been a while since I have reviewed your work. You have a lovely style of writing and expressing yourself. This is an enjoyable read, though it seems to be more of a story than a poem. I would have enjoyed it as a story. Then you could tell us more of this lovely romance story :)

I'm always on the lookout for impressive word rhyme combinations or phrases, or descriptions. You got me today with, "From some hidden reserve". That will stay with me all day. I like it when a poet or writer takes the time to choose their words carefully, not just the first thing that pops out of their head. So, I say to you, well done!

It was nice reading the story of how you first met your wife. I also love the way you have described her body now that a few years have passed. You are one classy guy.

Sincerely Joy xx

    Oh Joy, how you have enriched my day. I rarely receive such praise. If I were not dark skinned, my face would be bright red with self conscious embarrassment. Thank you so very much.

Hello Nomi: After I finished reading your beautiful piece it dawned on me that your words completely told the story of me and my wife. We've been together for over 50 years now.

Thank you for helping me realize that once again. Every word that you have penned is the complete truth about us.

Have a blessed Sunday, my friend...Bill

    Bill, I am absolutely humbled to learn that my words struck home with you and your wife. It is a blessing to a writer to learn that his words are not just words but that they tell a very real story to someone who just happens to read them. God bless you and your missus. Thank you so much.

    Thank you Rebekka, I had misplaced this poem and just happened to run across it by accident. I did some necessary editing and decided to submit it. I am now glad that I did.

I really enjoyed reading about your fanciful dream. I was believing it until I read the note at the bottom and thinking what a lucky lady. Very well written.

    My very successful relationship which has lasted now for about 46 years did not start out like the one described in the poem, but it has worked out and lasted just like that. Thank you so much for your kind and generous comments.

A very well-written poem about an honest dream of what could have been if you found the right girl years ago and still have the honor to have her right by your side.

    Than you. Even though my first meeting with my wife of 44 years and counting, the outcome is very much the same as that of which I wrote.
