Love Poem- For Contest

There are three loves so far that I have found, like triplets, different minds, similar face, the first where one's feet do not touch the ground two souls oblivious to time and space. The second, when the giddiness subsides, terms and conditions made, a course now set, doubts cast aside, life now a smoother ride, comfortable, as good as it will get. The third a maelstrom, tempest, barren skies her hand grips his lest they be torn apart as age and pain rinse colour from the eyes and circumstance assays the strongest heart. But as the years progress I feel maybe there is a fourth love, even greater than the three whose combined works make it like yeast arise, a love, once faith, becomes one that we see when one is taken from the other's eyes. That fourth love is not a 'where', 'tis but a 'when' but be assured- I love you until then. For contest 'Love poem', sponsor Heidi Sands April 2nd 2018

No wonder this one won Viv. We rarely hear of old age love such as you describe. The love that has put down roots that reach across that great divide. Congratulations.

Is death love? This is a real deep take on the contest and profound in so many ways... As they say some love is eternal..

I believe love transcends death, Silent. If not, I'm going to be dead miserable......
