PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When I first loved you,

I did not then know

That love could be so disturbing and so sad.

It seems that warm and then cold winds must blow

And love, like the climates, alter good and bad.

Yet, when your graciousness I call to mind,

Your faith and love for me is what made me smile.

A rose never bloomed but that thorns were intwined,

And hurts, I find, are but for a little while.

Yet two must love; so inward I peer,

And here I find that thoughtlessness hurts abound

And closer looking find created here,

Those failings which I thought in you I found.

Love's joys and tears are not from one-but two;

Please forgive me then and love me as I love you.
