Our Love Is Eternal

Our soul's luminous light filters the depth of darkness
shining like a woven thread into the stillness of time
It was there where we met, in a universe long forgotten
where we merged wrapped in the twilight of breaking dawn

We've known love in worlds that have passed
before we cried out for a new birth
where our spirits rolled like thunder
needing to be heard

You are the emptiness I feel
until we meet...in every journey
when we cross the arc of time once again
              
                Somewhere
        when our lips finally meet
        and the rush of this new world stops
        It's there trapped in the fragrance
        Love will be forever warm

To drift in a dream, where our hearts flutter
and love's face glows, in all its colors

To float away with life's night
where our souls capture love's fire
holding its flame gently

To feel the velvet petals of passion's flower
where the fragrance wafts from blooms
caressing our yearnings with the sweet scent
of intoxication

As our hearts merge in glorious freedom
leaving this world without a care
slowing the flight of hummingbirds
when we whisper a symphony of desire
heard by welcome ears
until the beautiful dawn splays ever soft
across sensual eyes of love
leaving us standing over the graves of our hearts
as we await another life, in another place and time
for our love is eternal and we will meet again
