Analysis of Forever Lasting Love



Sweet thoughts of you, they firmly reside
in echoing waves of the warmth we shared
before our path broke off in a foolish fight,
knowing that in the end we both still cared.
The grief caused by the loss has bared
the depths you've reached within my mind,
you're settled there, and evermore I find
we stay entwined beyond a physical state,
we endlessly relate and as two of a kind,
you'll be with me, our souls forever mate.

In 2007 she received a Certificate of Accomplishment as one of The Best Poems and Poets of 2007 issued by poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry for her poem Choked Truth, her own translation of "Verstikte waarheid", one of the poems in the book.
