Eternal Flame Poem by Thomas King

The flames still strong
And the light is burning bright
as it did when you ignited it
On our very first night.

This unbridled passion
Still lives in my soul
and the physical attraction
I’m still unable to control

Mind-boggling emotions
Still envelope my being
As it’s your enticing form
In my dreams I am seeing

Our years have not diminished
The love we still share
The way we stay true
To the honesty we share

Bestowed this wondrous gift
From the universal unknown
we are rewarded with happiness
in our devotion that’s shown

So I look at you now
with a little more age in your face
but as beautiful as ever
as you've aged with such grace

I am blessed to have had you
For so many wonderful years
So full of joy and happiness
It brings me to tears

I love you even more
Than that very first day
And grateful that through the years
You've decided to stay

Every day with you is a pleasure
And not one of them is the same
But one thing has been constant
It’s my loves eternal flame.
