Author's Notes: This special love poem, "Now is Our Moment of Forever Love," is rendered in the Terzanelle poetic format and is set in Iambic Pentameter. This poem is somewhat similar to an earlier Terzanelle ("The Warmth of Our True Love") that I had written and released on July 23, 2015. "Forever Love" focuses on the essential nature of love shared between two people, and how their love is divinely inspired and blessed by God Himself in Heaven above. I present the metaphorical notion in the leading verse of the final stanza that "Love is eternal in God's cosmic view." Setting this poem in the structural requirements for the Terzanelle made the interweaving of the various sub-themes all the more interesting with regard to how the final version of the poem turned out in the end. As with my earlier Terzanelle from 2015, the phrasing of certain aspects of the verses presented subtle comparative hints of both metonymy and metaphor. As in many of the other love poems I've written in the past, this poem is also a continuation of the theme of the "oneness of love" as it relates to the certain aura of shared love between two people in this life, and spiritually later in eternity.
