Together

The strain of separation leaves a sore, sorrow abides and festers in the heart; two star-cross'd lovers smitten to the core, despairing of the days they'll spend apart. Spirit, soul and testament they share, blind to worldly consequences, broken by the distance in between, for where'er their footsteps fall each retains a token. Two rings confirm a union true and bold; connubial bliss that will not e'er be still'd though time and tide would try to break the mold, a fire undying, passion unfulfill'd. The day will shortly dawn when they will see an end to their despondency and pain; two star-bless'd sweethearts who'll for ever be conjoined together, ne'er to part again.

Beautiful and bittersweet. Love, which makes us feel so wonderful can make us equally miserable. The end is upbeat and hopeful. Happy endings sometimes happen. Only time will tell. Great write, Keith. The flow is wonderful in this and the rhyme is perfect. Love and hug, Robin

Howdy day Keith!:) This is beautifully thought out and projected. You, a true romantic..."star-blesse'd sweethearts"...feels to surpass "star-crossed", which seems the blink of an eye. I hope that 2009 will be a wonderful year for you, Keith! May it bring to you: love, joy, hope, peace, prosperity...all that you need and desire! God bless you and yours...Love, hugs, and a smile or two... Mikki :)
