The stars in your eyes couldn't compare to the sky How bright they are, love—I don't feel alone when you're by And why is that? Maybe it's because you told me so How a thousand fireflies lived so you could grow The light of your smile couldn't compare to the dark How blinding is your love and how warm is your spark There's no end for us—I'll pray to the heavens for such Would fate and chance entwine so our plan could hatch? I have walked miles with sorrow as my only friend Has it been yours too? Tell me up to what end Because I would gladly wipe the tears flowing as of late So, darling, revel in my love like we're seventy-eight
Through the skies and the earths, look only at me I promise to smile for you, ease the burden you carry It would be hard—bonds and vows are rarely so easy So join me in our strength so we could reach eternity With my whole heart, I vow to love you freely Take my hand and, in love, let's write our story Tell me what is true and what requires refining We might not have all the answers to life's questions But we shall have love against its machinations The night is young and somehow we forgot the date Place your heart in my hands, love, like we're seventy-eight
The lights are low and we go forward hand in hand Do our hearts lie or in sinking mud do we stand? If there is one thing I'm certain of, it's you Despite all ends emptying, despite all the blue Darling, we have each other in our arms This is the course of nature, no cause for alarm Have you ever wondered why I keep saying it? You have given me remedy, kept my light lit Through the dark nights, through the uncertain roads You are there with me even if there's nothing to behold And this is love; I suppose it's not just the absence of hate So, come and dance with me, like we're seventy-eight
By far, I have sung the hymns of our testimony The words you pour from your heart and from your company I have come from the farthest lands of my memory Still, you found me not in my best nor in my glory You are my love; perhaps, I am yours, too Why don't you tell me and maybe we'll do All the impossible things—the ones they tell us to stop chasing But won't we try, love? Won't we fight against the reaping? Because I feel safe when I'm in your shadow Just from your spirit, I can feel no sorrow Times will be hard and the journey wouldn't forever sate But, darling, stay with me and love me like we're seventy-eight

Welp. I've had this poem idea from a long time ago and only wrote it around February. Forgive me for publishing it only now, in May. xD
I guess this is the highlight of the collection as this is the main reason this collection is made the way it is with its themes and stuff. This poem depicts the wonders of love and how it feels good. And yeah, I really, really love the recurring "seventy-eight" theme in each stanza and how many variations of it I could do. If I have the energy, I could very well extend this to five or six stanzas. But yeee. I'm almost always without energy lately. lol.
What do you think of this poem? Comment below! :))
