Love That Once Was

At the dawn of our day I will invite Rays of gold to shine on our strife So we can witness as budding sunshine Evaporates gently the mist of night. As you arrive to welcome the daybreak You don't have to call out my name, For I hear the cry of breath you take And the sound of grief your heart makes. Hand in hand we will guide lost hope Rescuing cheer from its hiding place When glory of life falls within our scope We'll embrace sparkle of a brand new day. As we say goodbye to remnants of night Your jade-green eyes will ignite a spark Inviting an embrace of doting pause Welcoming passionately love that once was. February 10, 2018

Love! What would we do without it? Not much! Love lost was once love one had moreover love lost is the reason of the love to come! Either way we are winners as long as we do not stop loving! Marvelous romantic poem my friend, Vijay!
