Romantic Poem

Fragile Life Unbreakable Love

I am a retired professional who writes poems as a hobby. I write mostly rhyming poems, but I am experimenting with free verse. I live in an apartment down the hall from a beautiful woman who loves nature and fights on behalf of animals. She says that my poems inspire her to be a better person. We have been together as a couple for eight and a half years.

Steel Tendrils

Published by Family Friend Poems January 4, 2024 with permission of the Author.

Our dreams are like ships moored to twigs,
made fast with kite string.

Our hopes are balloons tied with thread,
floating on smoke rings.

Our lives hang by spiderweb silk,
in gossamer slings.

Our love is a fortress of steel,
guarded by starlings.
