a time will come for singing
and when that time comes
the beating of my heart will be
with the power of the written word
the filling of my soul will be
with the love of one who makes me happy
the dreaming of my mind will be
with the stories of a lifetime

a time will come for singing
and when that time comes
you and I will look with mirrored eyes
and see the love we have sought
we will hold each other close
like a treasure not made of gold
and our lips will speak the words
that we've waited a lifetime to hear

a time will come for singing
and when that time comes
all the tears of our weary lives
will have been shed from our eyes
and all the sorrows of our darkness
will have been known by our souls
and all the chains of our existence
will have been broken by our love

a time will come for singing
and when that time comes
I will know that my life has not been
lived without purpose or in vain
I will know that my heart has known
the deepest expressions of your love
and I will know that my words have touched
the innermost parts of your very soul

a time will come for singing
and when that time comes
my life shall be my own
your heart will be mine
my heart will be yours
and our love will live forever

AD dear heart, This is asolutely terrific YOU know I love this one don't you love

9000 posts have you spread before us all
Words that have lifted the souls that fall
Lines of magic that have enchanted our heart
Keeping us together while we're far apart
Sven the writer of words that lift my soul
Make me complete, and once again I'm whole
You have the means to transport me far away
In your words I've felt my soul bend and sway
Congratulations my 'sister' phoenix 9000 wow
Come all of Passions give him a big cheer now


Thank you love for all your posts, everyone has been a diamond

Take care love as always

Hi Sven,

I long for the day I may sing as well, your words in this wondrous piece of poetry speak loud of the person within you, one truly deserving of someone that could return that in which you most want to give being love, I wish you the very best.

Love, Cerenity

Wow Sven! Beautifully romantic work...."a time will come for singing"  what greater way to express you innermost feelings than through the beauty of songs and the way they celebrate the accomplishment of a lifetime of searching for love and then finding it!
I really love the romance of this ending....

                "a time will come for singing
                 and when that time comes
                 my life shall be my own
                 your heart will be mine
                 my heart will be yours
                 and our love will live forever"

Great work!
