Love Poems

After Love and Fear, There's Pride


After love and fear, there's pride;
After tears, the night;
After all the words are gone,
A chair with just one light.

After memories, the dream
That you will come home safe;
After sleep, another day
Of waiting for my life.

After hope, the happiness
Of thinking of your love;
After moments of despair,
A stone no thought can move.

After all the sacrifice,
The hunger and the pain,
The passions and the promises,
The losses and the gains,

There's nothing but my love for you,
Which waits upon the wind
To bring you from the barricades
That now you must defend.

I think this poem is very wonderful and to be such a talented person you should continue writing poems. talents come in many different ways and you should not be afraid of what others think. Be strong and keep wise.
