Heaven can wait

Heaven can wait

A Poem by R.M.C

We’ve spent our lives together,

Never have we had to contemplate

That we were not meant to be, never

Have we experienced other desires to sate;

All we ever needed was each other -

Each other’s best friend and lover.

 

We’ve spent as much time as we can

In each other’s complimenting company -

You’re my woman, I’m your man,

That’s the way it was preordained to be…

And we’ve never wished it any other way

Because life’s bliss every day.

 

Inevitably, our bodies are worn down,

But heaven can wait for a while

For I haven’t smoothed your sad frown

With a laugh and a loving smile;

I know my time is nigh

But it’s “see you later”, not goodbye.

 

With trembling fingers I brush tears from your eyes,

Savoring my momentary strength,

Tell you “True love never dies -

We’ll reunite no matter after what length

Of time - because we are entwined through fate…

But unfortunately, Heaven will not wait.”

Very beautiful & lasting sentiments . . . a type of love I've never experienced, even in my childhood family. I like the way you express your feelings in conversational tones, straightforward, no tricks. This writing style resembles the way it is with lasting love, just steady, honest, & true. I love your main message about wanting it to last longer, not for anything spectacular, but for the simple desire to soothe your beloved's brow. Very sweet & awe-inspiring.

So let the bow break and come crashing

Let the fog settle and hide the moons light
I won't miss the silver dust dancing on ocean stage
for i lived my life by the warmth of your heart
and the light of your eyes spiced by summer sage


I save my last breath for a taste of your lips
to breathe my life forever to you inside
so i can find your heart for once last kiss

i loved you as i lived
i love you as i die
I love you is the part of for ever
for now, this is only good-bye

Great write dude!

Thank you.
Such a poignant write. A couple so right for each other and with each other for a long time. One leaves before the other. Believing that we can see our loved ones again in the next life is a lovely thought. No, heaven will not wait. When it is our time to go, we must go. Beautifully emotive. Lydi**
