Always Mon Amour

The Bottom Line This is a poem from my first book (newly published) of romantic poetry entitled, Romancing the Soul, available now through Amazon.com.

When sunlight fails to fall from azure skies
and gray angry clouds no longer wet me;
When blue jays roost and fold their wings
and raise no more their voices in glee;
When willows cease to weep and leaves do sweep
the browning blades of haunted grass;
When rivers cease to gurgle and speak
a harmonious symphonic task.

When moonlight fails and stars are quelled
And the ocean tides speak no more;
When rainbows disdain striking hues
And foam no longer serenades the shore;
When owls cease to speak from wizened peaks
And bald eagles old decline to fly;
When roses fail under the April snow
And wildflowers put away their petals and die.

When Angel's wings no longer sing
of tender love and warm regard;
When mountains bow below the plow
of Godly hearts and hands swept hard;
When time stands still 'pon distant peak
and warm winds no longer caress me,
my mind, my heart my soul will yet beat
with an ardent, tender love for you.
