If today were in fact the end of days We'd face it with no scintilla of anxiety or sadness because our fate is in God's hands I'd leave absolutely nothing unsaid between us; no time would be wasted... morosely waiting until the day fades into nothingness at the stroke of midnight I'd kiss you a thousand times, if not more and I'll never leave your sight until the very end, my sweet. We'd seize the day; fireflies in the night sky We'd take plenary advantage of the spectacular here and now and make each moment glitter like gold. Oh, what fun we'll have, while it lasts We'd throw a mammoth going-out party With our near and dear ones; a party to end all parties. I'd take solace in the thought that we'd be together when the day quietly fizzles out like a whisper in the wind The love I have for you would grow exponentially, and explode like a stick of dynamite, better yet, a bomb We'd lie on the bed of roses I made just for you and gaze upon the countless stars in the sky... for the very last time! We'd sing and dance under the harvest moon. If separated by an ocean, i'd somehow magically make it back to you, in the nick of time so help me God Submitted for...

Expressing love is surely a good way to spend that last day. You have a romantic soul, Edward. What woman wouldn't want to lie on a bed of roses looking up at the stars with their true love? A wonderfully passionate poem. Congratulations on your win! Hugs, Carolyn

This makes me imagine how those living through the Second World War would have been truly alive during their moments of reprieve. I Think in stolen moments they were alive in a way that you have imagined in this poem.
