Duane,
I have to really ask...is she into poetry? I think I did read that you write, but I can't remember the details. I think that you should be asking yourself will she like it, because not everyone is into words and poetry. I wish you best but I don't hardly think just a poem is going to get your woman back. Good luck though.

Okay, so Duane, why did you erase your poem?

here it is......

LOVE OF AGES

A thousand years of faithful love
Is marked by light.
A light that bonds us
Bright and sometimes dim
The light that always glows
You are my light and I am yours
Never yielding, never fading
Through the ages I have felt your light
When things are dark, you burn bright
The light that always glows
I will be that light for you

i deleted cuz it stinks(and yes-she likes and writes poetry)

here is another...

LOVES DELICATE FLOWER

Heeding the call, knowing the path
the young bloom grows with faith of love everlasting

Nurtured, watered, tenderly touched
the flower blooms in sweet fragrance

Winter falls and cold nights come
the blooms may fall but the flower doesn�t forget

Slowly quietly over winters cold days
the flower seems to forget its loving ways

even when sleeping and feeling the hurt
the flower knows that winters cold will pass

Significance found and hope always present
the flower silently waits for springs embrace

Warmth will come and the sun will shine
the flower awaits its springtime dance

With joy renewed and Winter passing
the flower grows again

the sweet fragrance of Love the flower remembers
growing stronger with each passing day

LOVE IS ETERNAL

yup, this one stinks too

Doesn't stink. Same suggestion I made in the private message though. This one has potential too. I would think on it a little more adn see if you see any contradictions within the poem itself and fix them.

Poetry is the voice of emotion. Keep writing Duane. This is a healing art. You may or may not win your lady back but it will help you heal. And it doesn't matter if they stink.

I have over a thousand writings tucked away from 14 years ago. I was suffering from a severley shattered heart. I had to get it all out. I did.

I think it's wonderful that you wrote a poem. Whether or not you get her back, I'm sure you will make an impact in her life. It's not every day a woman is handed a poem from a man. Best wishes.
