Pursuit

I sought after the ocean waves, their beauty glistened in the moonlight,
I raced the ever changing tide, beneath the eyes of twilight.
I kissed the vermillion rose petals, like rubies in the sand,
But nothing that I chased, compared to the touch of your hand.
I ran to catch the fading rain, as it fell into the sea,
I pushed my toes beneath the sand, willing it to love me.
I glimpsed a shooting star, that shattered the sky above,
But nothing that I found, replaced the beauty of your love.
I chased the first light of dawn, as it stretched across the sky,
Crashing into midnight, as the stars began to die.
But morning could not love, or make me feel as free
As the beauty that resides, in the love you give to me.


Beyond tomorrow's horizon,
Beyond the legacy of time,
Beyond life's brilliant sunrise,
Beyond all reason and rhyme,
Beyond the bottomless oceans,
Beyond the enchantment of space,
Beyond yesterday's excuses,
Beyond a promised embrace,
My love burns.
My love lingers.
My love wakes.
My love abides.
My love rises.
My love exists.
My love grows.
My love remains ......
