Always and Forever

In Poems

Under warm amber skies,

we etched our love

into the bark of redwoods,

*

a heart

engraved with our initials.

"Always and forever."

A promise

beautiful,

exquisite,

and sweet.

*

Our love was untameable.

We knew no other way.

We had only each other.

AHH THIS IS SO FREAKING ADORBS( ∩´͈ ᐜ `͈∩)💕 i actually rlly like how simple/short it is, i feel like it plays right in2 the kinda young love ur going 4. like when u love some1 enough u dont need 2 prove it 2 every1 w/ a ton of words, yknow(・・?) and the ending too!!! i rllyrllurlly like how it can b read as both bittersweet or js sweet(lol) like being so absorbed in some1 theyre all u can see and assign any value defo ends up failing more times than not, but finding solace in some1 during a hard time as 2 where theyre all u have is more hopeful!!(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )

What is love? Baby, don't hurt me...

But anyway, you probably don't know me, I'm Eli, I was lurking in the green room when I found this and it looked interesting so I decided to review it. It's short but sweet. BUT since it is short, I don't have a TON to say about it, but I really like the feeling in it. It made me happy that I FINALLY found a poem about love that didn't end with the love ending, so I enjoy that. I like your use of adjectives.

Anyway I don't have much else to say so keep poet-ing :)

Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume?
