Love Never Fails

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.

The Assassin

Meerkats

Taking careful aim

The assassin marked her target

Aligned the crosshairs

Over her victim’s heart

She thought she knew his weakness

Thought she could not fail

She checked her aim once more

And pulled the trigger

She smiled, self-satisfied

Watched the deadly projectile

Headed straight for his heart

But it was her heart that missed a beat

As his integrity got in the way

And the only thing to die that day

Was the bond between them
