A promise of love came at twilight,
Knocking upon this beggar's door,
I stood trembling as it let itself in,

Beautiful poem. Loved the contiguous courtship. Enjoyed. Top score.
The poet says, 'From books and teachers I learned of life' but I forgot everything when love opened the door. A unique poem. Loved the liquid movement of words from top to bottom. A fabulous poem.
Beautiful depiction of Love's voyage of pure bliss crafted in persuasive poetic expressions. An awesome rendition that resonates with the soul. Lovely poem, a smooth flow for joy. Thanks for sharing Lora.

Lovely poem. Love is one of the best gifts to mankind. Thanks for sharing.
From books and teachers I learned of life, But nothing prepared me for The thrill and wondrous joy that I felt When, so gently, Love opened the door.... You have personified Love here. i imagined as i read your poem that Love as a beloved person stands at your door. yes it is thrill, it i s joy, it is tremendous happiness if you at all meet with a real love. God bless you to meet this love in your life.
Not long ago, after bitter disappointment, I had locked the door very tight. Yet, love still found a way to open the door. The last two lines are so very true.
A lovely poem that oozes feeling. A stark reminder of what love should mean to us all, something to be treasured. A joy to read.
You've brought to life the power of love, and how it can open our heart to the world. I shall enjoy reading this again as one of my favourite poems.
Though the words of your poems can sometimes disappoint as with 'soul' and 'unfold, ' your courage and willingness to accept imperfection in yourself and in others is a joy to both see and experience (when it is directed at me at least.) The feelings and the truth of your work are rarely matched on PH however and the clarity of thought is always that of a fresh mountain spring. Live well and prosper Lora Colon.
Love's tender words starting to unfold... they do it the finest in your poems.
May this courtship remain ever lasting! A nice, soothing poem.10/10.
I just love it Lora Kudos
