Unseen Pillars

Love knows no boundaries within its heart, once given in intimacy,cannot cede an inch of terrotory to depart the mutual promise, bound close by deed; Love in its passion,holds all things clear yet lays wide open,giving its all and lives its life ,trusting without fear a loyalty innate,of instinct's call; With faithfulness it lays foundations sure against all tribulation and heartbreak, death's tempest certain storm,it can endure, held by unseen pillars that cannot shake; With neither rule,nor scale can we measure the height,depth,breadth of this priceless treasure.
