My heart cries "Love's forever, never will it die"
My head says "That's not clever. However loud you cry,
There is no tie that passing time wont sever.
'Time takes' and 'Time erases' are phrases old but true.
Though love, when passion blazes, raises hopes anew,
soon me and you will be pushing up the daisies."
But, despite my head's endeavour, however much it try
to make my heart be clever, "Whatever" is its reply -
"Though lovers die, Love is here forever."

Romantic in a sort of way
That was awesome. I loved how it was so short, sweet and too the point.
As the "Romantics" would say, there is now a time to fall in love again, but not with love, with your words.
This was just a fabolous idea for a poem.
Well written and great vocabulary and it is so smooth...oo lala :]
Thank you for sharing this with me.
It is very much appreicated.
Have a wonderful day.
God Bless.
Good luck.

I like how you used internal rhyme. I wouldn't have rhymed the same words, I like things and words to be fresh, unless in the repetition of a word is effective. I didn't find "however" to be effective. But then again, it was the right word for trying to get the point across. Still, I would have tried to word the line different.
I did like this, I applaud you for writing this poem with such a complex rhyme scheme.
Thanks for entering and good luck. -

Hi Tyler. I really wrote this piece to test myself in response to your challenge re middle & end-line rhyming and entered it just to let you see it. I'm with you on 'same word' rhymes so have no qualms about passing this one by, but, having chosen a form that gobbles up the rhymes, I had to fall back on recycling when I ran out of words ending in 'ever'. I enjoyed the challenge so thanks for that and for taking time to comment. All the best with your contest. Cheers, jimmy
