To My New Found Love

To My New Found Love                      October 28, 2011

To my new found love,

I bid thee well -

A future full of smiles

And laughter in your midst.

To my new found love,

I only know you now.

You are so beautiful,

And I cannot believe

You are mine.

I wish I had known you

Before right now,

Back when God gave me

Such pains.

I wish I could reverse

The sands in the hour glass,

To reverse the curse

That time forgot to reveal....

To my new found love,

You own my heart.

You carry the knife

To either mold me or kill.

To my new found love,

When I'm old and gray,

I'll only be as feeble

As your proximity entails.

A blackened heart comes to life

Because of you.

A soul ignites and flourishes

From coldest night to daylight blue.

Oh love!  How can I express

What amorous tempest rumbles inside

For you?

If only you pity me;

I cannot hide my love anymore!

To my new found love,

The Father's gifted package.

I cannot despair anymore,

And I open the gift to behold.

To my new found love,

Death and taxes may be sure,

But I am willing to bet

Our love is set

For the many millennia to come.
