Colours of sunrise
Are pale in comparison
With your loveliness
Colours of sunrise
Are pale in comparison
With your loveliness
Running for the train,
Cold hands wrapped tightly around
Hot coffee takeout

No one will see me
If I hide behind this twig
Until winter comes

Raindrops hanging on.
Twigs moist with autumn’s freshness.
Lens to a new world.
I know what you know.
I’m lacking perfection.
But I can still love.
Love conquers all things.
Love can keep us together.
Love never will fail.
Though seasons may pass,
And hair recedes or whitens.
Hearts grow more entwined.
Along life’s valleys,
Over mountains of worry,
Companionship thrives.
Till death us do part,
Or longer, if possible,
To share all our dreams.
That was the original poem I wrote in 2013. But just a few years later, I had to rewrite the last verse.
Till death did us part
But the dream still remains
To be lived all alone.
