The painful poignancy of desire

Undying love

I can face the coldness
Of a disconsolate future
Fraught with uncertainty
And dissipated dreams
As long as the fugue
Of your voice every morning
Chases away all my doubts
I can face the harshness
Of illness and weather
The unforgiving ravage of time
As long as the mirror
Of your eyes will still show me
Reflections of undying love.
