Chapters that count.. To help you through a dark d

Again, one of my poems.. I hope nobody minds me putting it up but in these days of rainy cold it may bring a tiny warmth to just someone's heart when they're feet are so cold .

Each chapter of love has its’ ups and its’ downs,
Some are a passage and some break you down,
The love that two share,
Between you and me,
Lasts as long as is willed necessary by the power that be,

Love in its’ rawest combines pleasure, peace and pain,
Self changes that are inevitable come from the same,
With each passing ship comes new treasures to behold,
The odd stow away parasite could even take hold,

But with each ship that passes comes newness and glee,
The memories are visions of the way it should be,
But sometimes those visions are shattered and torn,
Despair and confusion is easily born,

But look into your memories and remember those smiles.
Those moments when life seems so perfect to behold,
Of course you will miss it,
Of course it leaves pain,
Without these emotions it wouldn’t mean the same,

To have loved at all is a bonus to some,
Love is but a gamble and sometimes you lose,
But imagine,
Not ever feeling that way again,
That in its’ self makes it a powerful game,
To love is to risk losing,
But worth risking all the same .....
