Misted thoughts


As One

My love,
You are my heartbeat.
But if in time,
You should fail to beat,
So too would I
Then cease to breathe.

Observation

Unfortunately the world is full of
‘Gladiators’ who carry the scar's,
They picked up in the arena of life.
They are not always hidden,
By the fine clothes they wear.

I was touched by both your lovely poems. The first one, especially, seemed like a valentine from Mr. Valentine for someone.

Eric Valentine said...

Thank you for those kind words Forsythia, my words for the first poem are indeed for my Wife..

Everyone speaks of that special person in their life, I am no different. :)
