The Box

box with red bow 

You placed it in my hands, adorned with a red bow
only a short clip of time had passed by our window

After pulling out tissue paper of white
I was entranced by the amazing sight

For inside was a lifetime together
and a house to be filled by the love we would gather

The walls stood bare waiting for memories to dress
showing reasons for us feeling truly blessed

The best gift of all, though, I am thrilled to say
was your heart at the bottom, committed to stay

A Promise Everlasting

In your eyes
I’m swept away
Melodies played
as the trees swayed
Clouds parted
to light our way
and I realize
my skies
will never again turn gray

Then you stand near me
your arms open wide
You let me in your heart
and the Heavens sighed
You made me a part of
your everyday life
as your lover, your friend,
Your beloved wife

Always (Sequel to “Will you” 1/31/12)

Distance has made its way
weaving through our paths
Yet I’ve been near everyday
though, with my heart in a cast

Past words have been lethal
leaving souls in broken bits
but I think of you daily
It’s your spell I truly miss

You ask these things of me
with plain uncertainty
  Yet I sense you still have feelings
even as you tread carefully

You have never left my heart
It is there you have remained
I hold this place for you
To your love I am chained

Ask anything, My Darling,
Anything, at all,
I’m yours ‘till eternity
With you and only you,
I will fall
