Living forever,

like a sun that never sets

and the moon

that never betrays

the splendour of the night

I remain splendiforous

by your name

and my eyes are sure

it has seen glory,

nose, certain it has

smelt an unwilting rose

and tongue, truthful

to the honey

from the sweet hive of passion

living forever,

as our hearts wed infinity,

we ourselves become eternity,

wearing the white cassock

of mighty faithfulness,

to hold our hearts

like the unblinking torches

they are

Living forever,

unwilting in trust

with a pulse that

echoes in the orchestra

of my mind,

you are the queen

that sits on the throne

of my heart

with eyes so true,

shimmering beads of loyalty,

my confidence rests

in your bosom

I shall fly as amicability,

on the wings of love

and be as omnipotent

as passion

My heart blesses you

with omniscience

and yours anoints

me with an orient

of gallantry

May our souls be twined

in the happiness of fortune

and the sweetness of dreams

and the laughter of life

because as the sun

of admiration shines,

never to set,

we live forever

as hearts kissed by permanence.
