Tragic are the days
Without a hand to hold
When love is miles away
And nights are forever cold
And as those days turn into years
Futility becomes our only lover
The heart begins to lose
Any chance to rediscover
We spend our remaining years
Sad and all alone
Without another person
To call our very own
And we regret the time
We wasted in between
It’s too bad our destiny
Remained unforeseen

If love can conquer all
Than I am a victor in your arms
And not even the plagues of the world
Can touch the light in my soul
For you have enabled me to shine
During the darkest most dismal days
Illuminating my way
Even when I could not
There were a myriad of times
When I walked through shadowed realms
And you were there
To help guide my way
You never left me alone on that arduous path
Embracing me daily
Your outstretched arms ever ready
Never faltering to motion me in
And every bend in the road
Was a heartwarming gift
Because you were there
Loving me as only you can
And now I am beholden to you
My love, my life
The one who nurtures
Every part of my being
What was once before me
Has dissipated at my feet
And it’s all because
You remained by my side

Once again
She gulps down the pain
Forcing back the tears
Trying to refrain
Because love is worth
A river of tears
Especially if you overcome
All those miserable years
She knows she must stay strong
And not give in to defeat
Because she loses so much
When she decides to retreat
And with fresh determination
She’ll face each new day
Overflowing with fortitude
She’ll never go astray

Blissful
Happy
And sometimes sappy
Weird
Strange
Never deranged
Interesting
Bizarre
Amazing the way you are
Nerdy
Dorky
Devotedly quirky
Witty
Funny
Never to be outdone-ee
Devoted
True
Positively perfect you

Pulsing flashes
In lunar blue
Reminds me of nights
Spent with you
The electricity surges
And the sparks fly
With no known method
To quantify
A pensive mood
Brings your essence near
As the reflection of your face
Ignites a tear
Another sporadic flicker
Illuminates the sky
Reviving untold memories
Of you and I
