Love Poem: In Perpetuum Et Unem Diem

In Perpetuum Et Unem Diem

In the dead of a moonlit night, when the stars are dazzling ~
                thousands of glittering fireflies illuminate the sky, 
                              when it's noiseless everywhere... 
                  The tranquil whole world falls in deepest slumber, 
              who wakes up at midnight, and feels close to the other, 
                 In perpetuum et Unem Diem...forever and one day
                               two souls.. Always together!


                   How ensorcelling is your majestic ship, My Darling, 
                             which sails you away from me, 
                     to a distant land, full of thrilling excitements, 
                     from my lonely mundane life, I imagine thee! 

                                                    
                     I see the endless beauty of earth with your eyes, 
                    enjoy the eternal songs of Nature with your heart, 
                            It happened when we grew up together, 
                            We became one soul, we became one! 

                              The bashful boy, and the demure girl, 
          Looked all around, looked everywhere, except inside their hearts, 
                             didn't recognize the surreal longing, 
                                   until fate had them apart! 

      Now at the dead of a moonlit night, when the stars dazzle in darkness~
                thousands of glittering fireflies illuminating the sky, 
                               when it's noiseless everywhere, 
                              The world falls in deepest slumber, 
              waking up at midnight, who feels close to the other, 
                                  In perpetuum et Unem Diem...


                                           
Notes: Latin phrase "In Perpetuum et Unem Diem" means “Forever and One Day” in English
