First Love

Through this moment in time, we embrace,
Together, in this green altar of spring,
Lovers, in this heavenly instant (a droplet
In the river of Time - mother of all things
Mortal) - yet praying it will last - for ever and ever,

Together, we name this instant Eternity,
Although in truth, it lasts but moments,
I'll never let you go! ...in death, will it still be so?
Every bead of time - a world of its own,
Maybe there, we can love - for ever and ever...

Our love, but a droplet in this endless river,
Yet, in this bit of bliss, deceivingly insignificant,
We love, we live, we smile - for ever and ever.

Cute I Love You

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!
