Hand in hand
We tread the sands
Of life's lonely desert
Yet we do not react
Side by side
We walk without light
Yet we still locate our path
Though it is still dark
Yet we can see
For no matter how deep
Life's dungeon may be
Our hearts will always be deeper
Our love will always be greater
Even in the deepest valley
We are still immune to vanity
Day after day
As times pass away
Season after season
As things change without reason
Our love remains constant
Forever an exclamation mark
To punctuate this tragic story
That is full of folly
We listen in the dark
As the breeze blow on our backs
We draw strength from the comfort
Of its gentle touch
In our own dark corner
We think of life in a deeper manner
In the midst of crises
We care less for surprises
In a world so rude
Our love becomes an interlude
In a world of chaos
We make our own choice
The storms rage
Oh what a threat they make!
Yet we chose to stand

Thanks everyone, this shows my work is appreciated and i wouldn't mind a reccomendation from anyone. I belive the greatest quality of a poet is the ability to express himself.
One of the best poems I've read online here. Nice job of phrasing. The theme is easily recognized and captures the triumph of the spirit against life's hardships as well as the determination to survive. Well done!
