MY LOVE FOR YOU

Evergreen

Always true and firm

Never faltering at turns

Belonging

To each other -- We

Honestly and loyally

Ask the nights

Ask the dim evenings

Ask the mornings, afternoons

One day shall

Men and women dream

Of a love like we two have

Stories too

Will be written by

Those who believe in true love

Our names shall

Be linked together

When this world thinks of us two

Mystery

Is sweet and poignant

When two loving hearts unite

I shall not

Reveal our secret

But revel in love quietly

Jealous folks

Are like hidden snakes

Like Iago was to Othello

Very few

Like to be happy

In the light of loving hearts

I love you

Will always love you

In my own unspoken style

You shared life

With several men

But true love you share with me

I promise

To never wound you

Even if fate plays tricks with me

To love you

As long as I live

Is my heart's bold commitment

And death too

Shall not succeed in

Stealing my true love for you.
