Only You ~ Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

So caught up in your brown eyes
The rest of the world just fades to grey
Ours is the colour of loves keen brilliance-glistening
Grown over decades of deep love-done our way;
After all of these years, i still worship the ground you walk
Your happiness and well being mean everything
We are as two butterflies in the first blush of Spring
Traveling soul mates embracing what this life brings;
From April 'til tomorrow, my darling-
'Til June comes back 'round once again
We are the only music needed in our life-
In such perfectly sweet harmony, we begin:
'Sing me a song of true, yes true love-
Sing to me of all of our loving years
Sing that it has only grown deeper, my lover-
Sing to me, my husband, my dear'
Tonight as i lay gently in your warm arms
'Neath a comforter for just we two...
Please sing to me, only our song, darling
Trembling am i, with such deep love for you;
Decade after decade, our love has grown
Through every trial we made it, my love, my dear-
Loving you more, my beloved with each passing day
Loving you, deeper, with each passing year;
It will always be: 'Only You'
For there will never be anyone that could ever take your place
You are my first, my last, my everything...
Our love, no one, can ever, hope to erase;
