Our Love Has Been Like The Ocean
Both of us can concede to
often not meeting the others merit;
a love unworthy
Through darkened seas, have we swum
& salvaged from
an oblivion of wreckage
With this life we've been given;
many wouldn't be thus far in the journey
More battles await__
but many have we conquered
& love only exists with imperfection
Your embrace has always been home
but now;
ever more, craves & adores my presence
I see grief in your eyes;
such sorrows
& you'd give your life to solve all of them
To you, I'm more beautiful than ever;
a road map of scars
& all before you is of perfection
I love you now more than ever;
even that day of our vows ---
a story not always pretty, now implausible

Author's Note
He'll likely never see this as he thinks poetry is silly but I'm just feeling blessed...
We've both made so many mistakes. Every time I fall down, he picks me up & I try to be his wings, the same. I chose the title & pic due to its ebb & flow..the tidal waves & still, picturesque calm at times. Love sure ain't easy!!! .....
@ DevilsChild... that's what we say nearly every other day or atleast once a week. Lol;)

Thank you buddy. I told you I had written it probably a week ago, but just getting used to putting feelings on the page. You do so many on your side, I was inspired to just put it out .... finally. Lol

What's funny thing is an old friend wrote a poem and thinks I wrote this to get a point across. I wrote this days before your post. So vain.😂

I'm sure then I'll be going through my own crises. It's ok, the few lines you sent me were amazing to read none the less, and inspired me to finish.

Very much so & you know how tough it can be in your place as you do your wife. It's only taken midlife get it together right. Adulting isn't easy.😂

Seen some difficult days, but I wouldn't change a thing. It forces me to grow even though I want to reject adulthood. It would be much more difficult if I didn't have these outlets. But at the end of the day this poem suggests to me that you have the right person in your corner.

Brava Pandora! When the spark disappears and the flu is low that's when the more lasting traits become more apparent. If one wishes to aknowledge such. You've penned a wonderful tribute.

Lovely poem, Pandora...and I love your imagery...
...but this otherwise perfect poem...
is marred by a little bad grammar...
which I'm quite sure you would prefer to remove
given the opportunity.
I speak of the verb, ''swim'', here in tense present...''I swim''
simple past tense is... ''I swam'' or ''we swam''
...Unless... you have a ''helper'' verb, then the past tense is changed to, ''swum''...
Hence...I/we swim
...i/we swam
...I/we have swum...or I've swum and we've swum...hoping I have been of some assistance...hugs, Ely

Re: Re. Our Love Has Been Like The Ocean
I don't mind critiquing at all. Thank you. I'm not strong in poetic rules or proper punctuation but words, I am! Hey..its in my intro, I own it.😂 done;)

You catch the ebb and flow perfectly, seems to me. I have never truly been in love, but get a sense of its variances from work like yours. Fantastic job!

Thank you for the support, crow. That makes me sad for you. We haven't always known this kind either so I totally get you. Bunches of hugs...

Thank you for for seeing the pic..yes, determined although often unsure
At many times has our love felt unworthy. Sometimes, both too damn hard to love but also human;) communication more than anything!!!
