Now Before Eternity

My love, I beg, do not leave me alone
to dream on clouds or drift from star to star;
your sweet caress is more than I have known.
Please, come to me and claim this life as ours.

One kiss, one touch, one moment of pure bliss 
shall be the life and yet the death of me;
for with you lies the love that I have missed.
Oh, how I long to have you here with me. 

If you should go, my dreams shall turn to dust, 
and all I am will slowly disappear; 
though precious moments filled with love and trust 
will grant me strength to last throughout the years. 

I need you now and ask that you will stay;
eternity is still so far away.

Chris Green Date: 9/27/2019 9:03:00 AM i absolutely loved everything about this wonderful poem of affection and longing. Special words to one who touches your heart. And even if they did leave the memories of that love, the wonderful moments spent together would carry you through. Though please still don't leave, for I would rather share these memories with you. I really enjoyed this and I know this feeling quite well. Beautifully done my friend. And that ending line, priceless Login to Reply Hello There Date: 9/27/2019 9:20:00 AM I am grateful for your thoughtful comments and so pleased you enjoyed this <3
