Deeper than all roses

by Louisa taylor

Poetry is the language of love and these poems describe the absolute challenge that Vincent and Catherine faced in their life to bring their two worlds together as one. I would like to think that Vincent and Catherine are real and I could meet them and hear their love story as told through their lips through their eyes. Enjoy the moment

6. A shadow of love

A Shadow of love

Shadows flee in the face of love

It howls it's despair

At the growth of hope

When the way was new

It was a shadow of love for thee

For your smile, for your touch

These things that which I craved

so deeply.

I fled those touches in fear

For my hands were not made to love

But I dreamt of these

sweet touches.

I am shafted to my heart with guilt

And Shame

That I would shy away from your

loving touches

I fled these feelings of desire

I crumbled under your flame
