Ten Thousand More
you say you’d wait one thousand years for me,
well, I’d wait ten thousand more for you-
for we are one and together we’re free,
o, my love-
if you only knew-
I’d wait ten thousand more years for you
seventeen years of loyal vows sworn
under the autumn sun,
with none you by my side-
believing in a love so rare,
for no other could ever compare
can I take your hand in strength like you have taken mine?
will you accept that I promise I am more than fine?
for you have rescued me from myself once again,
and I shall repay you with gratitude from my pen
no, you may not be a famous poet,
but your touch heals (don’t even know it)-
when I need compassion, you show it,
when wounds bleed pain...you sew it
wealth without love bears no riches at all,
for treasures of the heart mater most-
you’ve stood up for me too many times to recall;
from Detroit to Colorado,
coast to coast
you’ve saved me from myself and crumbled my wall
ineffable is the depth I carry for you,
inexpressible; for adoration I must imbue-
a plethora of hope you portray,
since I gave you my heart that hot July day
my frail mind,
you accept without hesitation,
the ONLY one who truly understands;
for the pain of death tore us,
but together with determination
and the holding of warm hands
we shall remember love’s dedication
and stay an inspiration
forgiveness shows the aura of compassion,
each time my words sore you, you forgive-
to this day we make up with passion
realizing that life is too short not to live
never going to bed angry is not poor
it shows the connection two souls yearn for,
expressing a mellifluous tune of appreciation
for YOU… the love of my life and more-
my complete veneration;
the reason for my creation
for you have given me a fairytale come true,
so YES, my love-
I’d wait ten thousand more years for you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love you baby
Happy 17th Anniversary!
Here's to 10,000 more...and I can't wait...
