    Hello Linda, thank you for these six stars and your excellent review and comments! Sometimes, I wonder where all this comes from. I've always have had a romantic heart even though I have been alone for twelve years. But, only one time have I ever been in love and I know it's not too late to experience this. I just don't put myself out there, because I'm not sure if I can. Again thank you my friend. Take care and have a great day,,,,,,,,Jim

Jim,

Wow! You are so talented and can write in so many formats.
This form is so incredible! I love your repeating words and
youthful innocence and message of pure love that is so invigorating.

This is a touching piece and so very unique in its form.
It's a real keeper for me and tears...

I'm so happy for you,

Linda

This is a very sweet and seemingly true poem you have penned with very good descriptive wording. You used very good imagery with the art work. Blessings, Teri

A lot of sentiments in this poem, on how the narrator perceives and feels about love and the relationship with the one he/she loves.

Small thing here:
"Our hearts, the organ of life"
I think either heart needs to be singular, or organ plural, for consistency?

These lines sound like something's missing:
"which makes sunny days to give us happiness
or that cloudy, rainy day has us feeling sad."
Is it meant to be "for that cloudy, rainy day, that has us feeling sad"?

    Susa, thank you ever so much for these six stars, but also your thoughtful and insight of this poem. It would be grand if this could be a norm in life. I only know how to compose straight from my heart. Again, thank you my friend,,,,,,,,Jim

I don't know what I'd do without my husband. When it felt like my world was crashing down around me a couple weeks ago he came in and made it all better. I often wonder how I got through life before him. True love is a thing that should never be taken for granted.

    I love the fact that your husband is there for you, but most of all this displays his love for you. You also love him, trust and respect him too.

    Thank you for this great review and excellent comments in sharing that your husband is there for you.

    Take care my friend. You and your husband have a great day and the upcoming weekend,,,,,,,,Jim

    Ulla, I felt if anyone would understand what I was saying in this poem, you would be that person. What you and Alan have is what I have wished for! I think I is great. Thank you for the review and warm comments. If you think you know who I'm sweet on, could you send me a pm? Cause if you are right, I don't want anyone else to know!

    Take care my friend,,,,,,,,Jim

The whole soul mates idea is nothing but an overblown myth, in my humble opinion, Jim.
I liken it to forest faeries; they simply do not exist.
Love?
Yes, there are forms of love that exist.
The love of God, your country, and your dog.
Not necessarily in that order, either.
My wife of twenty-two years and I were not able to overcome the trials and tribulations of life.
And that is simply cold, harsh reality, my friend.
No fairy tale, happily ever-after endings there...

    Well Dean, I rarely disagree with you, BUT, I am now! I know many people that have overcome trials and tribulations and are still very much in love. They trust and respect one another. Listen I was married twice, but was never in love with either. I stayed with my first wife because of my two children and walked when my son became self sufficient. The second time, I still don't know why I did it. I became bored almost immediately. So even though I'm alone by choice, I still believe in love and what it can produce for people my friend,,,,,,,,Jim

    That's nice, Jim.
    I'm really glad and happy you can still feel that way.
    As for me, I believe love is nothing more than a fairy tale.
    But, that's just my opinion and in no way indicative of the opinion of everyone.
    Enjoy your weekend, buddy.
