Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I really like the message conveyed in this. I like as you've so eloquently stated, block by block, slow, steady, is how the house of love will stand and be sturdy. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

Thank you, Jeffrey
Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
It takes more than one brick to make a holy bond. Using block is the right word for this poem. This is a good contest entry. Best of luck!

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
When it happens your whole body feels the tug and you just can't let go.
Your usually solid heart melts as you gaze into the eyes of each other. Love takes over, big time

Thank you, Raffaelina, for giving this a look.
Comment from Anya Trofimova
This depiction of a loving relationship is incredibly interesting and unique. I like the way that the poem starts off as 'my' and then, through this process that you describe, becomes a 'we'.

Thank you, Anya, for your perceptive review.
Comment from Y. M. Roger
Your word count is indeed fifteen. Although your use of the word 'beatified' is a bit of a catch for many of your readers because, regardless of the actual definition, it has a much more widely recognized connotation with the Roman Catholic Church's process of canonization and intercession... (and, no, I'm not Catholic)... perhaps try something like
as we build our blessed bond
(blessed with 2 syllables) or even
as we build our blissful bond
to maintain your alliteration and not bring in 'other' thoughts besides the marriage bond.... :) Just a suggestion since it's a love poem contest...
Good luck at the polls! ;)

I know you're right, especially since reviewers think I am misspelling and misusing beautify. I am sticking to my guns though, Y.M. I will remember you told me so though.

I'm reading this poem as love being as the foundation for building a lifelong relationship and that's a good analogy. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

Beatified is to make holy. I will put that in the notes.
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Love is not always offered freely, it has to be earned, to make a bond of relation as we build our beatified bond so is our love stand relation; well said, well done.
