Until the stars grow dark my love
And there is no more day, I say
When there's no light from high above
Our love abides and still hold's sway
The light will shine from eyes that charm
I'll hold you in my tender arms

And when the seas are dried to dust
The oceans' pull is kept by pride
You are yet there filled by my trust
Till seasons end; here I'll abide
For my drab world within your heart
Begins and ends and makes new start

And when the air catches on fire
To sear the lungs and take the heat
My thirst is quenched by your desire
I need naught else when our hearts meet
Throughout all life and endless time
I'll be around... if you'll be mine

For you my love can light the sky
I need no other star but you
And should the oceans all run dry
I'll take our sweat, build them anew
When air is gone in burning up
I'll breathe of you from passions cup

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Keth darling sister of my soul and holder of my dreams, This is utterly UTTERLY amazing.
Question belover sister mine, Why are you soooooooooo outstandingly good? Is it really necessary to cap every little thing I do. You leave me wallowing in the shallows while you are scuba diving off the Great Barrier Reef.

You know I love this of course, I would say you have met the challenge magnificently

What can I say except this is going into my library. Thank you for the pleasure this brings today and will continue to bring. It'll sit in my libary and I won't need lights, this will illumine the whole place.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Absolutely gorgeous imagery, Keth.
I especially loved these words

"And when the seas are dried to dust
The oceans' pull is kept by pride
You are yet there filled by my trust
Till seasons end; here I'll abide
For my drab world within your heart
Begins and ends and makes new start"

Beautifully written.

Wow, Keth.  You blew me away with this one.  That last stanza, though, was unreal.  Great writing.

Nice work here. It flowed in a very good rythym that rode the seas of the emotion of love.

Kethry,

You've left me speechless twice today.  This is just truly fantastic!  It is absolutely beautiful.  A true sentiment of undying love.
