Stronger Than Time

I’ve heard it said that time kills all love
Nothing can last forever, not even the stars above
It’s a sad paradigm

Mortality can be a blessing and also a curse
I’ve written my own book on love, each chapter and verse
True love sublime

My heart does not follow the rules, chapter one; verse two
Our love is very special, I will always be in love with you
There is no mountain I won’t climb

Last but not least, in my magical book of spells
Final chapter and verse, my love now tells
My love is stronger than time

Congratulations Mark! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest, due to the demands of this form of poetry I was very strict making it a difficult contest to judge, very well done my friend, Emile.
