Forever Eternally With You

The crickets filled the air one night, with subtle chirping beats The moon and stars set up to shine, as they take their seats The wind has settled down to sing the songs it’s tucked away They sound like graceful symphonies an orchestra would play But if my mind were on those things, my heart it never knew For it simply ignored those sounds and thought of only you My heart you see, it dedicates some time for you each day To think about your loveliness, keep other thoughts bay Most times you are the reason why I’m in that happy mood That special place I spoke about, what joy you do include You fill me full of happiness, a feeling that never parts You have that pure divinity, to cure my aching heart You are the one I’ve longed for and dreamed about at night The one that’s made my darkest days clear and full of light You stir me in a potent love, a love so ever new And now I want to spend forever… eternally with you Written in Queens, New York -Circa 1995
