True Love Must Prevail

Gren's Evergreens (Golden Oldies) # 3 - Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Teppo Gren


A pair of star crossed lovers share shadows in the night,
for no matter the storms unveiled, love shall be our light,
sacrifices and dramatic scenes causing a feuding fight,
for in the end it doesn’t matter who is wrong or right.

“I share my love with you, my sweet darling so true,
and I shall die with my last breath weeping on you…
our love so exceptional, hidden secrets must be silenced,
true love must prevail, without quarrel or violence…”

A time for us will arrive without the fear of dying,
come my love, let my tenderness save you from crying,
love with tears and thorns are overcome with trying,
while dreams are spent living instead of denying.

“I share my love with you, my sweet darling so true,
and I shall die with my last breath weeping on you…
our love so exceptional, hidden secrets must be silenced,
true love must prevail, without quarrel or violence…”

A time for us will arrive in a future we long to see,
let us breathe as one not two, and arrive with destiny,
for death cannot separate a love given so true and free,
in a world of shining hope for only you and me.


Poem written from the song: "A Time For Us" by Andy Williams
Based on the true romance of Romeo & Juliet
