For You

Until

For you, who is faced with a loss so unbearably great that words fail to explain or escape you, let your thoughts echo.

I stand here, watching, waiting for that moment,
when all has calmed and are lost in the torrents,
of time and memory, when all is just a smothered blur,
until I accept every facet of what this moment had concurred.

And I want to tell you everything, just all I have grossed,
but alas, my voice reaches, ears deafened by loss,
I wish to see the smile beset, by your beloved visage,
yet our present has you frozen, locked in perpetual image.

These thoughts and cares they churn, mix, around in my head,
as I look upon your quietness, picturesque on an ivory bed,
til your last breath, I have always, wanted you to know,
that I do love you fully, with all my heart and all my soul.

I tell you, that I have never passed a day without you in prayer,
and in whisper I have kept my care for you, this I swear,
I wish that I could tell you this, eternity reminding you so clear,
that until your heart stopped beating, my love always adhered.

As every second passes by, and reality comes to me in waves,
I promise to keep you, all you are, in my heart for all my days,
longing to feel your guiding hands upon mine, until I too,
rest my head into the hand of the Keeper of my soul and youth.

Until I am at the point, where I could see the world in eyes like yours,
I promise to keep your life in memory, before I enter His widened doors,
for I have promised to love you, beyond the finality of the mortal plain,
until I breathe my last, and He bring me to where our hearts can meet again.
