Love is a powerful gift from God! His unconditional love for us is staggering. My love for someone was once this pure and still is, I suppose. Never found that with anyone else.
Thank you for sharing.
God bless,
Steve

I could feel the emotion behind this all the way from start to finish and it was strong. I love how it tells a story, pulls you in and keeps your attention all the way.

Very few people get to love and be loved in return. I am so grateful I am one of them!
'Knowing someone loves you for who you are' because let's face it, none of us are perfect. I think your poem is beautiful and I regret that I don't have six stars left to award it.
Take care of you!!
Jill:)

Your poem reads like a free-write with some end rhymes and no particular metre. The message comes across loud and clear as this was a love you shared that could never be repeated, I could identify with your words here, love Dolly x

I like the way you wove the philosophy carefully into the well composed musical aspects of this poem, the subtle rhyme and the subtle rhythm, the intricate word play. I guess we all ask this question, what is love? In the end, I think love escapes definition, escapes the cerebral for the spiritual, the dark for the light. It can't be put into a box. It is self sacrifice. It is compassionate. I like poems that get you thinking, and this poem does that. estory

    Thank you so much got the review. Ive been on both sides of the track so to speak and I'm grateful, if only for a little while, that I was able to experience what real love is.

What a beautiful tribute the love of your life! It is a perfectly written free verse poem. I agree with you when you say that love is an undying devotion, and that you are loved for who you are. Well done!

    Ty for your review but I've been disqualified. Free verse doesn't mean free verse. I love writing but this just takes the wind out of your sails. It already costs a lot of money to just submit one plus I promoted it ..all that $ for nothing. I don't get it. I've got reserves on others but this makes me want to not even write anymore..why bother..but I do appreciate you taking the time to read it and leave a review. Have a blessed day.

    I don?t understand how it is not considered free verse. You should ask them, to really find out. It is sad when it makes you not want to write anymore.
    I thought it was a beautiful poem!

Well done and good luck.

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.

I wonder if this is actually free verse because I noticed you several lines that rhyme. and it seems like in each stanza. you might have rhymes. I don't think it's against the Freeverse rules to rhyme here and there and you're meter definitely was not the same throughout so that's a free verse hallmark

Here. This makes me think of the Spanish Inquisition. The other definition is.intense questioning./Investigation to the point of harassment

" An inquisition su"

Below. Partners should be possessive

" You protect your partners feelings"

Great job. Thank you for sharing.

    So sorry to hear I just had a post that is heavily promoted get no views in more than.24 hours. So, I hear you. But don?t give up. I make enough reviewing to allow me to post and heavily promote at lease one work per week. no money out of my pocket. You should consider it.

This poem, Adoration Authentication, presented with seven ABCB-rhymed quatrains, calls for the practical application of the positive mechanics of love.
