Forever, love

Shining candles, melting pools of wax, the white in your eyes, love.

Ceramic fingertips, full of life,

Smoky black eyelashed love,

Twilight tresses, sunshine lips,

Unsaid desires, waking dreams at dawn, love.

Satin sheets and flowery curtains.

Fading footsteps, breaking into a dance, love,

The melody written to the click of your feet.

Four rings, the crash of bad news, love.

Laughter which used to run through telephone wires, now hang dry.

Six feet under, frozen, gleaming love.

Heart-breaking tranquility, bone-crushing hurt.

Mahogany coffin, asphyxiating love,

The numbness to the world, a blurry vision,

Gloomy cemetery, melancholy farewell, love.

Gone, but always remembered.

Never forgotten, now and forever, love.
