Christian marriage vows speak of " ...Till death do us part...",
But I instinctively feel that the bonds of true love go beyond lifetimes.
For the love of God I cannot cry any more
Yet tears are doomed to fall for you
Young and sweet and beautiful
wise devoted wife so wonderful.
In joyous eyes such depth of prophesies
To see you tenderness itself decries
The energy to resist your charm
And garners every determination,
To keep you away from every harm.
I soak in goodness through your radiant eyes
Aesthetics make up all we surmise
Endless oceans stretch and shimmer
In beauty each morn, as the sun does rise
Again and again for near-infinity, as a
Majestic gauge of scales,how time flies!
It flew from you, lovely girl of wondrous hues
To poignancy shall be paid your dues
Of this life you deserved perhaps fourscore
Years or more,
But not one of us can lay Time by in store!
And when it opens its dreaded uncouth door...
Continuum of the endless sum of
All our fears and tears mean no more.
It flew from your living splendor, as it shall
Fly from us all
Come dwell deep in my heart that swells with
Your painful pleas....
Those dewy eyes too beloved too magical
Too soon for you
To be staring down at us from sorry walls.
I will keep your memories close
In me
Sister your beautiful half-life be
Sigh... all that you were cruelly denied
Daily in me shall crisply die.
Why I feel this way....I cannot say
Maybe each woman feels another's pain
I am your echoing love relived
Again and again
The centuries water our burnt offerings
Cleanses and closes those wounds
Of ashen grief unspent.
Eternity cannot erase you,
Woman of strength and joy
Though it dared take you as it's prey
Till breath and hope and love itself is dead
At least till then in loving hearts
Of husband and child and friend
And all who like me
feel your compelling power
You shall forever stay.
