You are so lucky to have found this level of love so late in life. Relish it. I am indeed very happy for you both.
Your free verse flows easily down the page and the poem has a pleasant rythm all its own.
Typo here:
"(I'm) I have prayed"
Typo here:
"...our emotions run(s)..."

I have to pay attention more because this tablet adds words from time to time. Thank you Jim for the catches. I went back in and changed them. Also thank you for your review and excellent comments my friend,,,,,,,,Jim

Oh yes, mine does that too. It is too smart for its own good. I prefer working as now with a proper computer. Auto correct is definitely a two edged sword.

You are quite a poet, Jim. I hope you have a especial lady who is the receiver of your passion. Beautiful piece my friend. I wish you the best.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Now this is one of those poems that will make everyone who reads it smile and want to give out a shout. It's almost like you're floating on air, happy as a lark, as the old saying goes. Great job. :-)

Comment from mbroyles2
Truly enjoyable poem to read packed with such heartfelt emotion.
It warms my inner being to see such a strong devotion still exists after all this world has to offer to destroy it.

Comment from MaggieF
Great picture love the colours. This is a beautiful romantic poem of falling in love. The single word between stanzas works well. I feel that I've been on the journey with you. I like be the positive ending 'as friends go we are soulmates'. MaggieF

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, absolutely beautiful and beautifully presented in both word and art - almost perfect in tanka structure, with the exception of 2 lines that have 8 syllables, versus 7...
1. "makes me excited about life,"
2. "our bond is undeniable."
This in no way detracts from the beauty and message of the poem - just thought I'd mention...

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Oh you scoundrel, you are leaving us a mystery as to who it is you are so in love with! She's a lucky girl. She's got a true romantic in you.
The poem is lovely and well written, with your usual flourish and style. Well done,
Rhonda

Rhonda, love being a scoundrel. I wish I could reveal who she is, but, I cannot! Thank you for these six stars and your comments. Having this friendship is from her changing my thoughts and feelings about love. Something I never felt I would know ever again. And Rhonda, thank you for your support. Means a lot to me my good friend,,,,,,,Jim
Comment from Thomas Bowling
A great expression of love. There is nothing better than young love except love that has matured and stands the test of time. This is the best.
