When a love is worth waiting for,wait.
When a love is worth fighting for, fight.
When a love all consumes you,
take it with both hands and love it.
Comes only once in a lifetime
an all consuming love,
till the day one of you dies,
then the love goes on with only
half a love,half a life,half a heart.

How sad but inspiring.
Had 2 probs...
Comes once in a lifetime
bit cliched..read it too many times before lol.
Also the word consume..makes it repetitive. I mean you don't want it to 'consume' the poem do you.
Loved it otherwise.

Jules this is my love and I did only find it once.
Widowed 11 years never had a man since.
Nor did I have one before. Unlike todays women.I was a virgin when I got married.

Your life....sad but inspiring again, Alice. Think how lucky you are to have had the experience.
Was thinking when I read it how appropriate it was for my aunt who lost her husband just three weeks ago. She is in her sixties and was with my since she was fifteen. Life can be cruel.
Keep up the poetry
jules
I agree..the last line is beautiful

This brought a tear - but 'love' connects at a higher level than marriage and embraces love of friends, father, sister, mother etc.
For this reason the 'all-consuming' description seems a litle bit limiting.
Is it not healthy to use the love you've had for a close, but now lost, friend/partner as a kind of springboard to empower or enrich other relationships?
In time wounds do heal. New love is found. Mother nature wants it so.
Take care

Brian many thanks.
I agree it goes beyond.
I have never forgotten to say I love you.
I say it often to family and friends and they know I mean it.
I was just too young to lose my one and only love.
xx Alice
