Bitter and Sweet Love

Here we are cuddling a dream like one bid,
That reflects sweet  affection so revered
By the  loyalty of words never hid
A promise to share life till last hours neared.
With flames of gaiety  and breathless nights
Time held us closer,  enshrining a choice 
To link both hearts through our  marital rites –
Exciting my  soul as  “Yes” warmed  your voice!
Until you grew  frail , eyes slowly dimming
Into  rainfall’s tears which grasped a  brief sigh. 
My fingers clinch although I wear our ring
An angelic  token, you’re just nearby.
