After Forever






After forever
when they sing our song
with timeless lyrics about eternal spirits
we will nod and think
they almost got it right.

There’ll be myths that summer solstice
was about the first time our souls kissed
as both the sun and time stood still
on a day that never wanted to end.

After forever
they will see it written in the stars
our own patterns of love, drawn
faithful reminders, from dusk to dawn
each twinkle a footprint where we danced.

Then they’ll say the moon made a vow
that we’ll always know how
to find one another again
with her breath on a breeze
she’d whisper “follow me”
and guide us through eternity.

After forever
when poets look to muses
and immortalize their own great loves
they’ll remember a song
that touched on our love
and think that we had forever
but they would be wrong

‘Forever’ was our prelude
our song has just begun.

    On, my gosh... You have hit on something, in a way I have never seen written. I always knew it was there, but dared not name it.

    Truly a phenomenal poem, Dahlia. <3

      This poem was a few weeks in the making. I had the title and concept, but needed all day today to try to put it into words. Thank you, Michael. You make me smile :) <3

      Yeah, there's something about having a love so unique and exquisite that it cannot be defined, that I find so intriguing. I'm sure it's out there.

      Thanks, Tyler ;)

    Oh that moon, your wonderful muse, has done it again! I get that same feeling when I look upon Venus.... except when your planet gets in the way, haha! Beautiful poetry here. 8 points, Earthling!

      Where would I be without the m00n, Marvin? She draws me in, and draws my words out ;). Thanks for the points. And can I expect to hear you waxing poetic about Venus one day? :)
