It’s true – ‘true love no alteration finds’ – <br />love is a state of being, as yourself: <br />your love is not outside, but deep within; <br />it is not something you can ever lose; <br />nor something that can leave you ‘low and dry’; <br />does not depend upon some other form, <br />some other body’s sometime warm embrace; <br />and when you’re silent, still, you know this so… <br /> <br />Believe me, love – I know this in my heart; <br />beyond all blandishments, this loving rhyme <br />rhymes all our hearts, which cannot live apart; <br />we know we know this, past all timeless time..<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-monday-bluesky/
