Love In Perpetuity

If there Is nothing new under the sun
Then why do I see new beginnings
And endless possibilities
When I look at you?

There is much more in your smile
Than my mind can assimilate
And I want to know
How to extract a little portion
Of it each day and
Drink it in so that
It caresses my heart
And soul.

If I could stop the
Incessant ticking of the clock
I would navigate the
Passage ways of your soul
And wind my way to
Your innermost sanctuary that
Holds the treasured pieces
Of your passions while
Memorizing the final verse
That opens the door to
Your most daring
Desires.

And before I had taken
My fill
I would etch our names
In that place of enchantment
Where time stands still and
Record for all time
My commitment to return
Again and again
For as long as there is life
And joy and beauty
In this world...
Where our love is
Forever.
