Eternity Exists That We May Love
Eternity Exists That We May Love
I hide not our love, its fathomless deep,
rising fevers from heart that never sleeps.
I love you, as morn's dew kisses the rose
a blessing and gem that forever grows.
I love you dear and your enduring grace,
that radiant smile on your lovely face.
Your voice, your soft, tender kisses given
for such love, all my life I have striven.
Your beauty, this willing heart truly slays
and in our hearts, romance so gaily plays.
Never shall world's dark our love interfere
for truth is, our love is always so dear.
Eternity exists that we may love.
I the eager hands, you the silken gloves.

Romanticism (sonnet),
( When Greatest Treasure Has Been Found )
Note:
This sonnet was composed in 1973,
I was then only 19 years old.
recorded it in my private journal.
Later edited it again and recorded it
in another current journal in 1984.
I have edited to post it here today
with only very minor changes to the
last two verses. (7/08/2020)
