Love Me Now Or Never

Love me now while
I can love you in return
Love me now when, at will
I can turn on and off the lantern
Love me now while, still
I can exhale and inhale easily
Love me now while
I can see clearly your beauty
Don’t wait for tomorrow
When I can no longer see the transient rainbow
When I can no longer walk on my own
And when I cannot feel the freshness of dawn
Love me not solely on Valentine’s Day
But also when I erringly go astray
Love me now or never
So I can remain blessed and blissful forever
Regardless of my state of mind
Don’t stop being sweet and kind
To my soul, to my heart
And to my body, before I depart.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
