Love Is Eternal

LOVE IS ETERNAL


          On his First Date He gifted Her a Book
                                              and She took
                                with love and honor
                                in fervent fervor.

               The book is famous, well known
         Titled ‘Love is Eternal’ by Irving Stone.
           The book to enchant and enhance
              Emotive amour
              on ardent ardor
          It was about love and romance
        of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln.

              Most meaningful for New Lovers
                     Eager to love forever.
             Committed on joint journey throughout life 
            in joy, sorrow, comforts, struggle, or strife.

                          Days passed by
                            No social tie. 
                            Ruthless destiny directed separation
                               And hence no communication.

          Where is He?
           Where is She?
                                 Love reached expiry date meeting Funeral.
                                  The book ‘Love is Eternal’
                                still rests in Her shelf as a document.
                              Can’t tell whether she forgets or laments.

                   But the Book forever to carry
                   Love between Lincoln and Mary.
