Till the End of Our Mortal Days

If I'm to be In a world where We are possessed By the dreams And nightmares, where None may say, Then I choose To be with you And only you. And when all this world Has turned to grey, The stars have stopped, No light remains, Black is gone, No night surrounds, Nothings left Nor does remain, I will know I had spent All my mortal days Loving you, and only you. And when all this clay Has turned to ash The dust is gone No star remains I will know, I love you still. And when we are Past the time When all the dreams Have gone away The Nightmares died And are no more I will know, I love you still, As I did All my days. And When not an Angels left to cry, For our kind Not a demon does remain, to punish us For our crimes Not a soul, is Anywhere I will know, I love you still, As I always have, And always will.

Thank you Timothy... I do like the way it turned out... originally it was a song, but I decided to rewrite it as a poem, both were written for my wife.

Paul, I love the repetition of "I love you still" gives the poem a quiet, unwavering strength, making its message feel both intimate and eternal. BTW, welcome to the Premium Member club. ⭐

Thank you, and that is a nice interpretation of my poem, but, it is more than, and simpler than conviction. It is "love transcends time"... that love is beyond infinity, beyond explanation... it has no beginning, no end :). Thank you for your comment.
