Title: Forever
Writer: George W. Knox

I beg to be counted among the crowds
who behold your splendour
for angels conspired to paint you
a masterpiece, forever displayed
in the gallery of my heart
and yet amongst the hoards
of those more deserving
I find only me
a speck of dust
in a mountain of humanity

And I raise my voice
to the heavens in awe
as angels saw fit to bind together
a woman so perfect
and an undeserving man
but still I grasp love's jagged thorn
endure its pain
and smile
- safe in the knowledge
that I have given with certitude
my heart
as you travel through the depths of my being
to meet at a place where our hearts
can dwell
and when you search for my soul
I will take you there
where bodies grow old
but the love in our heart
will always burn

for when the master beckons
I will look in your eyes
to wipe away a tear
with a final kiss…..

as we begin our journey
to eternity
