Love Nest- My entry for the Val Poetry contest by steemhive

I am always inspired by the poems written by @dorbatim.

Yesterday, I made a comment on one of his poems and he encouraged me to write one, I replied I was going to give it a try.

Coincidentally, I came across a poetry contest from @steemhives; so I seized the opportunity to make my first poem.

Here it is; I do hope it inspires someone.

Love Nest

We met at crossroads
At a point where all was dry and deserted
Where the river had stopped flowing
And life had lost its essence

Yet, undetered, we kept pushing
Moving towards each other admist the thorns
Then a flash of light and breeze vented our path
And our hope for each other heightened

We started out as strangers
Blossomed into friends
Grew as lovers
Moulded into partners

Ours has been a test of love
Where we had to walk the extra mile
And we did; for we believed in our love
We fought for it

Beloved, each passing day
Reminds me of your undoubted love
Of your sacrifices and indepth care
And how I got caught in your web

Letting go has never been conceived
Talk more of making it an option
Because your love is refreshing
And brings a special delight in my heart

I display my promises in my actions
Because the volume of my love
Can't be expressed by mere words
Am going to hold on to the very essence of you

So I will keep walking with you
Fly over boards if required
Because with you, life has been redefined
And you are the very definition of love

To my readers, I am grateful you made it to my blog again today. 👏👍
