A Love of Forever

If she smiles
And delights
To the words
That we speak.
In the tone that
I seek
I'll give her my
Love of
Forever

If she sighs
In delight
As I speak
The words
That tickles
Her tongue
That makes her laugh
In utter delight
With thoughts
As one
In a love
For two
I'll be
By her side
Forever

But if she speaks
In harsh tones
About things
I do
With people
I know
In a voice
Of control
That tests obedience
That disrespects
Love
In harmful ways
That bends toward
Darkness
With sorrowful thoughts
Which quickly decays
My newborn
Mind
From the me
I must be
To love a Love
Of Forever

Verse Two

There's no spark
In her eyes
When she sees my
Face

Her tongue speaks wicked


Verse Three

Bodies change
Sagging skin spreads

Age occurs

The physical
The mental
Gone into the wind
Of no return

But love exists
In a different way
Time brings
Oneness
In the marriage
Of souls

The soul of one
The eyes of the other
Join together

In the promise
Of an eternity
Forever
Two equals one

In thought
In body
In caring for all

Time passes

And mean
Brings goodbye

I cry

My love is
A love for forever
