Vows Of Love That Time And Distance Can Not Deny Beyond the ocean and high clifftop ledge Across great expanse of water and skies Two lovers far apart gave loving pledge vowing truest of loving never dies. Each longing for fever of midnight dreams welcoming beats of tender, aching cries Whilst wading through youthful life as a team insuring their foresworn oath never dies. In the distance, bright pharos blinking glow As if in time with lovers longing hearts Each in night's waning hours wanting to know Again that sweet each loving kiss imparts.

(2.)*vernal= ver·nal /'v?rnl/ , adjective of, in, or appropriate to spring.

Removed were several dark verses warning of the many pitfalls of love and life that I, as have so very many other young lads- found to be a quite sad part of love when it fails. This new and heavily edited version represents the beauty and blessing of love when it triumphs and gifts its dearest, greatest sweet treasures….
