Do not tell the moon
to never rise again.
Do not dismiss the sun
from the summer sky.
Do not tell the snow
it cannot fall.
Do not force the rivers
to flow uphill.
Do not tell me
to stop loving you.

Lovely. Sounded like a classic in the beginning.. but then it was still unexpected.
Oh – thank you very much – I don’t usually write much love poetry!! I’m usually more of a doom and gloom poet hehe 😀
Well gloom and love are two sides of the coin. Exploring one might further the other. 😉
A good point well made!! Thank you 🙂
Ah! I know its impossible to hold back love .. beautifully mentioned 🙂
Thank you very much indeed! I wrote this some time ago – just found it in an old journal 🙂
Its lovely 🙂
Aw thank you – I nearly didn’t post it as I wasn’t sure about it!! I’m glad I did now 🙂
Very nice. Keep the flames of love burning.
Thank you! 🙂
Classic lyrics, Alex.
I love the love expressed in your poem.
Seemingly unrequited..
😉
Ah you don’t know how true my good friend 🙂
