Will your lips stay untouched with such beauty as this,
For how saddened my heart by our distance apart,
And each simple thought would beckon my kiss,
And each simple dream would summon my heart.

But I smile with the memory of your longing embrace,
And my joy went unfettered with your voice I perceive,
And your voice in an instant would signal your face,
Then your face in an instant… my love would receive.

Your eyes were the stars that at night would inspire,
My soul to but yearn for your lips sweetest touch,
And quenched by my love's overwhelming desire,
To whisper I love you… I love you so much.

And untouched were your lips but untouched nevermore,
As our passions engulf our souls to their depth,
On wings riding high will our ecstasy soar,
For our ecstasy soars and our ecstasy's kept.

So our lives have been perfect for souls such as ours,
And time won't diminish the love that we share,
And if ended the morrow by omnipotent powers,
Then the morrow had brought me… a beauty so rare.
    

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

"And if ended the morrow by omnipotent powers,"
Sounds like a take off on a John Wesley Sermon
