If fate should deal that blow that severs
and I should fall 'neath deaths dark sword
I want from you my wife and lover
a promise vowed with your word
That 'fore you choose to seek or follow
to set sail from lifes green shore
You must go to my ivory body
and climb the bier on which I'm borne
Take my head in your arms
and hold me to your breast
Then gently lay sweet kisses
upon my pale and lifeless lips
Hold me to your bosom
long into the night
Hold me with sweet love
not sorrow nor with fright
For if there were anything
that could break deaths cold bond
To bring a soul searching back
for mortal form from beyond
It is your sweet kiss and loving embrace
A true true true love poem, reaching out from the beyond. So strong. Keep open your ability to express.

The warrior without, the lover within! Ah.........such passion could slip the very bonds of death with a kiss! Oh, that we could all find such an ending in love's lasting embrace. This is simply brilliant! Linda :)
