As it lasts
We filled our souls
With what we had begun
A lovers embrace
Entangled trace
Eyes yet woke this day
Smell of skin
Lovers scent
Infused my hearts desire
Passion here
In warmth’s embrace
As a lover and I begin
You cannot win every day you try
You cannot lose every day either
You cannot fly among the birds
Without walking among the worms
You cannot begin to know it all
You cannot learn without advice
You cannot grow without a breath
Of inward, deep, and conscious thought
You cannot smell the flowers in winter
You cannot speed the times of seasons
You cannot walk amongst the trees
Without a path to lead you forth
You cannot love without a love
You cannot hope without a dream
You cannot be without a seat
You cannot cry without a smile
But in the end it pulls us in
We wrap around and believe within
A lasting hug, some tea to share
You and me as we try again
A line begins
But a line must end
So shall sun
So shall the wind
But love that curls
And love that whirls
Should make thou smile
Under all that’s else
I want you happy
If it means I’m sad
I want your worries
In a far off land
Then you couldn’t frown
Or bend that soft brow
With troubles far away
Many a long gone day
It shall never be changed
My sturdy feet I have
I’ll be here forever
Till you’ve found your strength
One day, my lover
One day shall soon
Call upon each other
To bend around the moon
And in this day
At this day of judgement
We’ll only ask ourselves
Did I follow my heart?
