Love Is Eternal
LOVE IS ETERNAL
On his First Date He gifted Her a Book
and She took
with love and honor
in fervent fervor.
r.
The book is famous, well known
Titled ‘Love is Eternal’ by Irving Stone.
The book to enchant and enhance
Emotive amour
on ardent ardor
It was about love and romance
of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln.
Most meaningful for New Lovers
Eager to love forever.
Committed on joint journey throughout life
in joy, sorrow, comforts, struggle, or strife.
Days passed by
No social tie.
Ruthless destiny directed separation
And hence no communication.
Where is He?
Where is She?
Love reached expiry date meeting Funeral.
The book ‘Love is Eternal’
still rests in Her shelf as a document.
Can’t tell whether she forgets or laments.
But the Book forever to carry
Love between Lincoln and Mary.
