Premium Member Love For Keeps

Merging of hearts, solemnized as one
Cruising darts, piloted by the Almighty One
Scents of Chrysanthemum, crowned in leis
Glade of momentum, sweeping for deis

As you renew your vows
There are no buts or hows
Cling to each other without noise
Sing for each other with poise

As years go by, love will grow more
Teach yourselves to be meek
With trusting reliance to seek

Love will never appear short or small
In God's name nothing will fall
  when both of you stand tall

The Waiting Room

Marvellous elliptic magic Moon
Tears of honey served on silver spoon
Morning cold enough to crack a stone
My love will be here soon

Jupiter ascending to his throne
Indifferent, untouchable, alone
Deis Pater, Lord of light and sky
The bird of love has flown

And it will be a long while till we lie,
Limbs entangled under gravid sky
The Spheres conduct a melancholy air
Lament for she and I

The weight of light impossible to bear
Ice and fire refracted in the air
Our souls entwined like vines about the moon
We sing her silver tune
