If This Is My Last Day

  

If This Is My Last Day

 

If this is my last day

I won't spend it dwelling upon the end

things I've should of said

places I've never been

What purpose would that serve

I prefer to watch the sunrise

reflecting in your  eyes

Eyes that love me

soothe me

make me believe

Eyes I must bid farewell to

Eyes that are now filled with tears

along with mine

Let them not be of mourning, on this morning

Let them be streams of joyful ponder

made possible by our union

If not for you

this day would be one of regret

because love would be a stranger

to this heart of mine

The sensation of embracing you

 never known to my arms

My body never to be privy

to the purity of your  love

flowing through it's

every vein and muscle

or your indelible touch

My quill would be absent of reason to sway

upon parchment in honor of you

My music devoid of your essence

your spirit breathes life into

the fruition of my inspiration

 

My motivation for this undertaking

into the after life

is to make preparations

for our eternity together

Perceive this not as my departure

see it as my arrival

into our loves immortality

For now,

let us linger within each other

watch the ocean dance to

the silent beat of the earth's rotation

Listen to the world breathe

it's exhales gently caressing our skin

I lose myself within you

only to find myself through you

Baring witness from your eyes

all that is beautiful in this existence

if ever I am lost

in the obscure darkness of doubt

your smile serves as

my beacon back to hope

Hours hasten to the past

daylight surrenders without contest to nightfall

I must leave now

 give me one last loving kiss

I want to walk into forever

with it lingering upon my lips

As I fade into the light

I shall leave you with these words

On this my last day

Let these be the last words

Your ears hear me say

I Love You

A beautiful but sad write on love and having to be parted The Next level! I have experience this depth of pain at first hand and I hope this is not from personal experience. There is a grammer typo in the first lines. 'things I should have said' Other than that, this took my breath away, our parting wasn't so beautiful but I know he knew I would love for all eternity. Thanks for making me cry! Smiling through the tears, Tai

nature
this is a very touching piece
when something has run its course even if its hard you have to let go
even if love still lives there,you have to go because sometimes love isn't enough.
loved it
