I once heard a preacher say on a religious radio show
that romantic love was nonexistent in heaven.
Maybe I’m a sappy romantic, but that bothered me.
Just like when someone says, “I’ll love you till the
day I die,” bothers me.
Maybe I’m being foolishly optimistic, but I like to
think of romantic love being eternal, the forever
after.
I like to think that those who don’t find lasting
romantic love on earth find it in the afterlife.
But, sadly to me, maybe romantic love is
just for procreation while we’re on earth.
Which to me is a depressing thought.
Maybe my mother read too many fairy
tales to me as a kid that instilled
the love forever after hope in me. 🙂

Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
