Tears of Love

Tears of Love
Forever flow –
Heart stands still –
Time’s frozen moments –
Memories cherished
And so vivid!
Lisa’s beauty, Oh!
It steals my will –
Takes my breath –
Imprisons my soul!

Love for her so strong –
Tears stream down
Thoughts consumed –
Spirit shackled!
Mind in chains –
Life force drained –
Body trembles –
The ground rumbles
Feeling faint –
The world crumbles!

Hers, the greatest love
I’ve ever known –
Respect above reproach
I’ve always shown –
Her eyes gaze –
Peer and burn into 
My very soul –
The Earth quakes!
My insides tremor
Mountains moved –
Within and without!

At once we parted –
Our hearts broken,
Falls of tears –
Flood of ages!
Darkness gripped –
All hope lost –
Happiness gone –
Hurt and pain 
Of loss so great!
The firmaments split open!
I looked up –
All ripped asunder!
Skies falling –
Clouds dripped
Like mist to the ground!

At long last –
Reunited!
Years lost – fourteen?
Love renewed
And never forgotten –
Like Nemo’s Nautilus –
Years submerged –
Our Love and Joy
Resurfaced! –
Hearts mended –
Soul mates rekindled!
A better man –
I want to be!

On love’s journey
We’re sometimes lost –
To find each other
We must suffer loss –
Pride torn down
Humility embraced –
Circle of dreams –
In lonely desperation
We seek –
But cannot find –
What already
Has been found!
 
Reach out to each other –
You’ll find
Happiness regained –
What once was lost,
Once more is found!
Lights turned low –
Intimate sounds –
Soft kisses and caressing –
Taking it slow –
Tears of Love
Forever flow!
