A Tale of Love

"Truth is the measured distance between the eyes of lovers"


When love's amber light turned deep red from a caress
We became a woven thread within space and time
To open love's old bundled tendrils to confess
All our past sins and life frailties we had to climb

In a commonality so long forgotten
We freed the pains of yesterdays with their release
To rest in love's eyes naturally begotten
Wrapped in the welcoming arms of passionate peace

Perhaps we were found worthy of the gift it gives
One we will guard and treasure, a precious jewel
Yet, never to be hidden, in the light love lives
Our two blissful hearts with a sense of renewal

With fervor, we will find love's wellspring to drink from
And travel the rivers and streams of love's desire
Through turmoil's wrath of shades and shadows not succumb
When we cross the human conflicts that can conspire

When love's amber light turned deep red from a caress
In a commonality so long forgotten
Perhaps we were found worthy for the gift it gives
With fervor, we will find love's wellspring to drink from
