“My Forever Love”

I have always known she existed

Through hopes and dreams more than tested

Yet My heart stood strong and bore all the load

Of loves found, and then lost, along life's bumpy road

To the haven called Paradise

Where, at last, I have found you.

Omniscience, my guide

And Heaven, my mentor

Opened the door to my heart

Through which she would enter.

The Beloved of my soul

And the song of my heart

With this new love

A new life would I start.

In some ways my first love

In all ways my last

Our hearts have been fused

Held together steadfast.

You are the sum of my thoughts

Both day and night

From the Sun's first ray

'Til beyond its last light.

In you have I found

A treasure to behold

Your smiles and your tears

Are both worth more than gold.

Your beauty and goodness

Shall try to be captured

By poets and painters

Whom you've enraptured.

They'll write and they'll paint

Until they grow old

The legend of you

For Love's tale must be told.

But no rendering of you

And, yeah, there'll be many

Shall capture your fullness

Not one, not any.

For how could a camera

Contain the scent of a flower?

And how could a story

The magic of an hour?

In your eyes all can see

God's adoration of Man

And your touch, indescribable

As is your kiss on my hand

Your skin, soft and sweet

Like the day's morning dew

And your heart wields a power

That is rivaled by few.

Tender as the fawn

And pure as the dove

Let my eyes be the portals

Through which you'll know Love

The glory, the grandeur

The magic, the wonder

Of all God's creations

Both over and under.

What else can I tell you, give you, or show you?

I live only to serve you, love you, and know you.

I beg you release all restraints and defenses

And allow this true love to delight all your senses.

We are One 'til eternity

'Til forever expires

So may our love bless this world

And all the hearts it inspires.
