i do not know
how long i’ve held
this orb
it may have been years
or just a few days
but it seems
only now
that it has arrived
in the palm of my hand
for it is still warm
and radiant
a phosphorus glow
that all can see
a light
that will not
yield to
the darkness of life
nor the shadows of fear
cast by the grave
it is my love
for you
Hello slp martin, thanks for the comment the last time on my second website, I am also amazed to read and hear of your poems and I am really grateful to have seen this website.
Keep up the good work and just wanted to say this poem has many points and views a reader can get…
By the way, how did you place audio in your website…mind to share how?
That’s exactly what happens when love finds its way into one’s life!
All miseries fade, and all darknesses evaporate!
A lovely poem, Charles.. it perfectly exhibits the feeling at the entry of love…
wow this is amazing! I love the photo and the poem but best of all God’s manifestation! You see I have just read Moore’s God’s very very big hands in here http://pronetoponder.wordpress.com/ and it moves me. This may not mean anything to some but it means a lot to me. Have a great moment everyone! 🙂
These words are beautiful and only an idealist could write them. Love is a timeless and intrepid warrior against the dark, but it is also rarer than most people think. Excellent poetry as always slpmartin.

very nice imagery, a powerful verse… very nice piece… i like this…
love can be dark, fraught, light, bright, mixed up, solid, wild, dependable….crazy, sensible
your an eternal optimist, i can tell
I am a true believer in the power of love to illuminate one’s darkest path, and this piece is testament to that. Well done.
