Calling On
Inspired by the Alphabet Soup Contest which I missed out on:
Calling on my lover
Duelling heart now recover
Emotions filled to brim
Flowing over the rim
Gleefully giddy in thought
Having found that sought
I for you ready
Just sure I'm steady
Keep company all lifetimes
Laughing past hard times
More may come but worst is gone
Now in joy we face new dawn
Out of trial's ashes formed our jewel
Photo memory lest I revert to fool
Question love none will ever
Requited love none can sever
