The journey to your heart

Is littered with intentions

Like walking to the bridge

That you forgot to mention

And standing on the parapet

Reaching for your love

My arms outstretched before me

Releasing all the doves

 

Hoping one will catch your eye

my head now bowed in sorrow

So I vainly hold the mirror

To reflect the tomorrow 

And walking  to the middle now

Of the river that it spans

Pausing , gently breathing

As we slip each other’s hands

 

Beating now in unison

Slowly pacing out

Steps upon the pavement

We cannot live without

Entwined with love together

Like the English rose and briar

We pledge our love forever

That’s forged in cosmic fire

 

I kneel at the alter 

of your freely given heart

And hoping that chains we have

Never break or rust apart

As bound we are as one in life

So as in death

We will remain as one until our last immortal breath.
