PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

(for Teresa)



        Mit Dir hab' ich dieses Gefühl,

        daك wir heut' Nacht unsterblich sind.

                   --Die Toten Hosen



These eyes have seen the silver crescent

Of moonlight shining in your eyes,

I breathe tonight the air quiescent

And know that we'll never die.



It matters not what happens now,

Your lips are sealed and so are mine--

We'll outlive it all somehow,

Withstanding all the tests of time.



So many words are left unspoken,

So many doubts, so many lies--

This bond between us can't be broken--

No, you and I will never die.



It is a feeling that somehow

Is overpowering like the sky--

There is no need for questions now,

For you and I will never die.



It doesn't matter if tomorrow

Will bring more tears to our eyes--

Amidst the darkest gloom and sorrow

I know that we'll never die.
