What we have is
something good
I can’t deny.
You are sweet without
sickly – true sweetness.
Your name means
“Forever Beautiful”.
(I almost cry to think)
No, beautiful,
what we have is beautiful,
you are beautiful
forever, in essence,
and what we have is
beautiful.
Beautifully sad too
because
beauty is not forever.
we have something
something good
something beautiful,
and sad,
because something is for now
and beauty is for now
you and I
we are for now.
But Nothing is.
Forever.

A beautiful poem of love. The truism of love everlasting is put to test, because nothing last forever. I liked your arrangement and the buildup of love only to lower its expectations with the notion that it, like everything, does not last forever. Even a memory doesn’t last forever, because too soon we die and with that final gasp the memory is gone.
hi Jerry, thanks, and good to see you are still checking my page, it’s a nice boost to my morale!
its nicely tricky. i similed at the last line of words even it doesn’t pertaining to positive side but reality…
Thanks for the comment,
yes it ends on a down-note. Everything ends on a down-note, unfortunately!
Lovely. You have caught a whisp of the ephemeral quality of beauty and love. Very bittersweet and haunting.
thank you!
I am glad it made you feel that way
Great poem mate. Very moving and deep, stirs up a bit of melancholy and sorrow but it works because of that.
cheers Martyn,
thanks for reading, I appreciate it!
Hey,
It is first time I come across your poems and there are very well written. I especially like this one because it looks at beauty in many different shades of light. Keep it up. Eddy C.
