Soul to Soul
Turn the page
In the book of life
To a time
When love was ours
To hold fast and true.
*
Turn the page
And mark the day
When you said yes
To now and all time
With only me.
*
Turn the page
To read the tale
Of a life we wove
Amid each tear
And tick of joy.
*
Turn the page
And see the art
We drew as one
As we felt the joy
Of what was us.
*
Turn the page
And see our hair
Turn gray and dull,
Our eyes grow dim,
Our walk grow slow.
*
Turn the page
And see me weep
On a day so sad
When we are no more
And only one is left.
*
Turn the page
And mark it well:
My love for you will
Defy an end
On this orb.
*
Turn the page
And feel the vast love
For only you that will run
Deep in me 'til we meet anew,
Soul to soul.

Such a beautiful and sweet poem. I really enjoyed reading this.
This is amazing. I just submitted a poem to this challenge and was disliking the constraint, thinking it made everything too jilty, that not much could be well expressed through four letter words. Then I read this. You proved me wrong. It is beautiful, it says wonderfully things, and if you didn’t know about this challenge, you likely wouldn’t even notice the short words. Fantastic.
This is a beautiful walk through a life of love. So well done.
I enjoyed this,
