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.

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. As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

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. copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

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

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. ~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |
