Tumultous on occasion or as calm as sun on leaves This riotous elation gives me reason to believe That in some distant present as I gaze back on the past I may not have known enough of love though I'm learning real fast Complex in simplicity focused not as two Expecting both of us to be as one to muddle through And somehow stay the course of time reflected in our eyes The knowledge we would perish were it to be otherwise The give and take of daily life intrudes not to our core We have trothed unto each other spoken words of evermore As fades the flesh's endurance and resistance by degrees My love for you will true exist for countless centuries And as in some long past present when I gaze into your eyes I know I would soon perish were it to be otherwise |

"As fades the flesh's endurance and resistance by degrees My love for you will true exist for countless centuries And as in some long past present when I gaze into your eyes I know I would soon perish were it to be otherwise" Doc, this has such a classic quality...I really enjoyed this piece and the tender sentiment of its message. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

A refreshing idealistic view of eternal love. Just hope that reality doesn't come between the pair in the poem. Very lovely words. jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Smooooth Doc... very smooooth. I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on you to make sure you stay away from Red. Back to the top you go for everyone else to see. |
