Together As One:

From the beginning to the end I will,
Follow you all the way in every day,
Completing each other to gain our fill,
The price for your love I shall always pay.

I get lost when I look deep in your eyes,
Feeling lonesome without your love again,
For I know one thing, that would not be wise,
I would move mountains, I would fight all men.

Just to be in your arms for one more night,
Have never turned my back on you before,
So hold me close honey, hold me so tight,
Let me be your ocean and you my shore.

There is only one more thing to admit,
Together as one, next to you I sit.

I w/Alexis on that big 7 thing, Budge. It is a gorgeously penned Sonnet. I have a ways to go to get to that Sonnet level you're now at. Your hard work is paying off greatly. Love from the ghetto brother. RW

Yes, I find the sonnet most intriguing RW. I use the syllable counter above to make sure I'm right. Haha. Look forward to your first attempt and I'm sure it would be a beaut! Your mate, Budge. /|\
