An excellent contest entry. I'm sure the judges will love this. It has nice rhymes throughout, and very good meter. Good luck in the contest.

The artwork is beautiful and it fits the poem so well. The focus from the first kiss to the enduring love in the present show how deep the poet feels. Very romantically portrayed.

Romantic relationships are the spice of life, they make us feel alive in a way that nothing else can. Poems about love speak about the passion, desire, and the vulnerability of being in love. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece.
Wishing you the best...

Good love poem with good word flow, and rhyming. Very nice love poem to your husband. It's good to read about happy couples, I feel the same about my wife, and we will be together 50 years our next anniversary.

It is a truly devoting poem to the one you love, Mary. The stanzas are beautifully crafted, like sublime you have mentioned in one of the lines. Rhythm and flowing through the whole creation. Excellent work, my dear. Best luck in the contest. With love, Ella

Hi Mary,
if a picture painted a thousand words... every one of your beautifully composed words and thoughts would be front and centre in featuring this love and wonderful sentiment.

A complete presentation... your words of the heart... and your alluring painting, coming from the very same place... the whole package in one! You are a very talented-complete artist within mixed medium.

My favorite stanza... the one that solidified the love...

I remember that heart-stopping look in your eyes
it penetrated into mine,I felt I would die,
when I say the three words, "I love you"
always remember dear they are only for you.

How could one not fall in love with that much magnetic attraction?

Beautiful-beautiful-beautiful!

All the very best wishes in this Valentine's Poetry Contest dear friend.

With our thoughts we create,
melding memories.
James vx's.
