Notes About The Poem

Inspired by Silent One.

Forty Times Forty

For you, no evanescent love, it'll bud and bloom
Favored plethora by light of many moons

Oh yes, I'll revel in rhapsodic voice of yours
Old cupid will be thrilled; felicity seals this love of ours

With dulcet memories we colored on pages of time
In early light of those, our yesteryear, for love wasn't blind  

Radiant rainbow following rain will blush and steer
Recall you've caused my sapphire eyes to twinkle like stars

Tell it in song; arm in arm with Iris, you'll browse idyllic grounds
Together by Eden clear waters, a chrysalis becomes butterfly by your wand

Yes, we'll pledge there, never ever to part
You'll be my talisman, aligned forty times forty years with my heart.
