HIM (rimes with............)
Your heart still beats;
never will I yield up your memory
to such vain forces as mere Death.
While my heart beats,
ever shall your sweetness in reverie
be my partner, as we were while with breath.
I miss you so.
Day's and night's companion, your dear essence
filled and waved my sea and emotion's beach.
Come with me, go
on from now, your silence is your presence.
Words marked in sand; our memories still teach.
I stand alone,
my hand has no other hand to grasp.
Your day-to-day love no longer drives.
Alone again;
but each of us exists as a lone hand-clasp
first of all, and then loves enter our lives.
The best of love
is how it combines, yet is sole-standing,
strong in itself, but trusting in beloved.
The rest of love
I keep in my heart, with you guarding.
Lengthening shade my portion,
my life has your
sunshine memory
glowing above it.
