Yearning for Paradise

O love! Way too long are these sunset years Without you, every moment my heart tears Alas! From this gnawing ache I can't withdraw So, for your divine abode my lifeboat gears The very last evening together we saw Remains vivid in my memories raw I recovered, but your health took a fall Good souls must leave early, is it a law? We were perfect for each other, I recall Safeguarding each other from every squall You were truly the Almighty's best creation With you gone, I desire not to stand tall In the remaining breaths, I seek redemption For all mistakes that can hamper our union My eternal breeze, I seek your intervention To help me bridge this sky of separation   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
