YOU ARE MY DESTINY
10 October 2014

You know my shadows and my sunlight,
my tsunamis and my Everests,
as I do yours.

You found me and took me by the hand
and invited me to take a walk with you
along life’s meandering path.

I smiled and looked into your eyes
and that was it, for both of us,
wasn’t it, my love?

On our country walk,
a butterfly rested on a stone,
and you gave me your heart
and mine melted into yours.

We rested on a rock
and splashed our bare feet in fun
in a giggling, gurgling stream,
and you gave me your soul, kiss-wrapped,
and mine was yours in bliss.

When I showed you the grace
of a beautiful black mamba
slithering away from us,
you presented me with your trust,
warm-glowing in the sunshine
and so precious and revered by me
and I gave you mine in return
as my tears flowed in joy.

You wiped them from my eyes
with your tenderness and passion
and I confessed
how long I had been loving you.

We have had our quarrels
and I am sure there are many more to come,
but we always bring balm to each other’s pain
for we are one,
and our hiccups and volcanoes are washed away
in sweet-flowing forgiveness.
There are no conditions.
We love
and that is it.

Love never stands still.
It is a living breathing thing.
It grows or fades
and ours quivers with elation
as it blossoms in profusion
with the blessings of time.

We know not what rocks will cause us yet to stumble
nor sunrises and sets, will bond us true and darkness-free,
but we know in the depths of our kindred spirits,
we will be together, in love, sempiterno, you and me.

superb "Romanticism" ...

of the very many fine lines, I am most fond of:

"Love never stands still.
It is a living breathing thing."
