By Love Possessed Poem by Panagiota Romios

 

By Love Possessed

Life's moments pass too swiftly 
And with them..our lives, too.
I have no secrets from you
Except the biggest one.
How truly and deeply,
I have always love you!

It came as a shock to me, too
You must think me a silly.
For far more than a moment or two,
I wondered, too...
Who's this strange lady in love with
so average looking a man..is she daft?

No, I am not, my beloved man!
For all I see and sense is you.
When the stars first show their pageantry.
Or, the California sun gets born again on
yet another day.

I long for you always, in exquisite agony.
For decades so awake to my love for you.
Our lives never far apart. 
Nor in spirit, as you are my heart!

You are my day and my night.
In heaven we will converge.
And promenade along streets of gold.
In silken clothes, eternally  blessed
In eternity, by love possessed!
My amaranth, Greek god and his
forever amorous, goddess.
