Yep, I've been reading Shakespeare again. This echoes his 115th sonnet.

Boundless
      For Kelley


Did I love you less yesterday
Will I love the more tomorrow
I have said I love you best today
Yet I am full of pain and sorrow
For I know that what love I have
Seeks to grow and cannot be contained
Within the bounds of time's rigid mark
For what I say today is feigned
And future vows will be as hollow
For time continues onward still
Until the day I cease to live
Take what love I offer till
I have no more to give

Seek the dawn of one more day
Until the year again is spent
My love for you shall never stay
Consistent nor shall it repent
Of times when I felt it full to bursting
Only to see it swell again
I love you now more than man has ever loved
An ocean, endless without a shore
Yet each new day I love has proved
That on the morrow I shall love you more




Sing while you may
  -The Prophet Qa'sepel

Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen
   -The Prophet Qa'sepel

Well, you won my heart with this one. This is absolutely beautiful! Shakespeare, eat your heart out, move over for this poetic Pipster.

(OK, so maybe I got a little carried away. sorry William)
