The Illusion of Endings

We are the sum of our experiences, 

 You are all of mine. 

 I awoke within your eyes, 

 To fall asleep within your arms. 

 Your smile is within my heart, 

 And my heart beats within you. 

 I swore to be with you always, 

 Where was I at that moment? 

 You swore to share with me of things, 

 How is it I did not know this? 

 Somethings are more powerful than us, 

 But nothing is more powerful than love. 

 I cannot hope to blame you, 

 For what I do not understand. 

 I can only say I miss you, 

 As I miss the warmth of your hand. 

 Yet when the day is done, 

 I pray in my dreams you will come. 

 I will never be who I was, 

 Because I am part of you. 

 And yet I will go on in love, 

 Because I hold on to what is true. 

 You will always live within my heart, 

 Within the power of love we will not part.

To Be Held

Forever in a moment,

A moment in forever,

Inside a thought and place,

Outside of time and space,

With the warmth of her hand,

Within his firm embrace,

Watching the stars roll by.

Watching the waves roll in,

Upon the rock together.

On the seashore of eternity,

Our eyes can see forever.

For it is not our eyes that see,

When the heart has true vision,

And my heart has awaken.

The mind may sometimes fail,

But my hand always remembers.

My hand has strength and purpose,

Pressed against your fingers.

The Earth may be shaken,

When stars collide,
Yet there is more power in our love.

I have seen the sands of time,

Fall away beneath my feet.

I have seen the ocean of doubt,
Part in the face of our love.

Within your caress,

I stand indomitable and strong,

Beneath the eyes of God.

We stand together ageless,

Though our bodies may tell time.

The eyes of strangers come alive,

As they smile in response to our love.

Yet to be held in God’s gaze together,

Is the embrace of the greatest love,

Which I will describe with the following words.
