never ending love

Because when you love someone it never truly ends.

melodious off shoots
of rain
pound against the sanctuary of my heart
memories of you
strengthening a never ending chord
of embittered joy in me
a yearning you were
still mine
i guess your heart wasn't big enough
for my love anymore
my prayer is one day
our romance
will return to us never to end
remember us not this bitterness
we both made mistakes
let us not war forever because these
fortresses you've built against
my heart are
tearing her apart in the carnage
of dying autumn leaves
i remember an autumn kiss of such passion
leaves flew with startled wings
from their trees
september
when you first made me yours
stole the last petals of my virginity
i can forgive
the lies and betrayal
if you can forgive my harsh words
truth is everyone will hurt you
my calculations may be off
i was never good at math,
but i figured
you're someone worth suffering for;
always i will love you
even if you can't love me
you added
vibrancy and hues to my black
and white life
wiped away bitter cynicism and all
her cobwebs -
pull me apart like an autumn breeze
memorize all my colors
run away
with me in wax wings
let's burn in an immortal sunset
catch dragon flies on our tongues
kiss birds
with whispers of truth
never begot to their ears before,
this love of mine
will never die
you'll hear it in the wind chimes
of your heart
long after i'm gone.
