This morning when I arose at 6:45 am it was -16 at my house.
I poured my self a large cup of coffee and went o my computer
Started to do a crossword puzzle - got bored so I started reading poetry and came a cross two poems that caught my attention the first was
Go and catch a falling star
By John Donne
the second was
Cups of crimson wine
Mah Laqa Bai
Indian
1768 – 1824
Well then my wife came downstairs and as I looked her - I thought her lips were really beautiful and red
so it got me thinking about it and her and the poems all kinda mixed together in my head
so I spent the next 4 hours writing and re writing this song
Forever Lover by James Kenyon
[G]Have you ever seen a shooting star, [C]racing through the sky
with amazing speed and beauty , it stands out to [D]every eye
but as it speeds through the darkness, it’s flame begins to dim
it knows it can’t go back to yesterday, a different time back then
She had one of those rare smiles, hard to explain or define
Her lips, radiant beauty, shaded like cups of crimson wine
What once was a raging flame inside , now glows low and slow
A warm and quiet kind of fire, that only lovers come to know
Chorus
Like a diamond I still see her shine when she walks in the room
I can still feel her passion, like the glow of a midsummer moon
Oh, the years they may roll on and on, but the magic’s still alive
She’ll always be my forever lover, she’s my once-in-a-lifetime
Verse 3
Her eyes still spark mischief, just like they did on our first night
And every year’s a blessing, ‘cause we’re still dancing in the night
the mirror in our home is honest, but it don’t scare me at all
Every line just tells her story, yeah, I’ve loved her through it all
Chorus
Like a diamond I still see her shine when she walks in the room
I can still feel her passion, like the glow of a midsummer moon
Oh, the years they may roll on and on, but the magic’s still alive
She’ll always be my forever lover, she’s my once-in-a-lifetime
Outgo
Time will write its story as the years drift slowly by
Sparkling stars keep racing through the midnight sky
Every moment whispers that she is forever mine
She will always be my forever lover, till the end of time
She will always be my forever lover, till the end of time
