Now and Forever

Is there love above the stars
where hearts renew their

endless vows and evermore
is sung by those who hold

their precious moons so close?
will our thoughts upon this

quest chant sounds of love 
my heart requests and travel

endless paths proclaimed by
secrets only Angels know?

maybe words can never know
what lies inside our untold

souls; and yesteryears tomorrow 
knows are really here beside

us now; so evermore becomes
a cloud that drifts beside us

even now; without us knowing
here today, tomorrow's hearts 

                                          in love

                                                   they'll stay

Love is a tragedy. "Now and Forever" celebrates the idea of "Star-crossed Lovers". Tragic in life, but eternal in the skies. Inspirational. I'm using this idea in my next poem, bro.
