Until the Very End

Here we are at the end of our marriage 
remembering the tender words of love 
that we uttered in our horse and carriage
tucked together like the wings on a dove

as the world stands far remote we keep bay 
inside this velvet room of flower and sage     
counting the blessings of a morning ray   
sandwiched like two birds in a guilded cage  

folded inside the sheets of time we thrive 
accordianed like  two insturments of old 
humming the songs that once made us live 
encloaked the dark, we never grew cold 

true love is the diamond of old lovers and friends,  
I believe that I will love you, until the very end.

"tucked together like wings on a dove" - that line is so romantic and descriptive of togetherness. "folded inside the sheets of time" is also beautiful. My favorite, though, is "true love is the diamond of old lovers and friends". I just had to stop and read this sonnet over and over. Thank you for sharing this tender love poem with your Soup friends ~ John
