Lyric of my life

Melody of my heart, song of my soul
My destiny dances in your eyes
As our dream of love lives and breathes
Another one slowly dies

Fated to be lifelong lovers
If not meant to be man and wife
Regardless how the music ends
You are the lyric of my life

If the day should come when we part
One truth will still remain
I’ll hear your song forevermore
Until its dying strain

Very good Tara...this could easily be converted into a song if there was a chorus.
Great poem!

*curtsying to Sven* Thank you!  Glad it has met with your approval.

Toddles, I'm blushing at your reply!

Paula, yes, that's my favorite line as well.

Ethome,  hmmm...I happen to be in love with an aspiring songwriter...perhaps he can do something with this.  Thanks for the suggestion!

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
