Love Eternal

Love Eternal

Love eternal flame desire,

Captured in a wick of fire,

Up and up and burning still,

Two strands entwined with purest will.

It’s often said that love won’t last,

That romance of these kids have passed,

The boy in me sees girl in you,

The same, you’ve said, is in you, too.

As two, like stars, we fly at night,

Transfixed on beams of radiant light,

We face a future without fear,

Enveloped in love’s atmosphere.

Now, those who wish and want to know,

From dawn of spring to winter’s snow,

It’s giving all to my fair dame,

And, from you, too, the very same.

My pledge to you will always be,

To give my love eternally,

My heart is yours, and you are mine,

Forever rapt in love divine!
