Beyond the Gates

To love until my dying day and beyond

Beyond the Gates

Jack Ivey

 

 

Until the day my death does come, I breathe my final breathless sigh

My love for you it shall endure, for all and any reasons why

For on this earth I live my life with words of always constant true

To bring such joy into your heart, my love it shares with only you

 

Till moons above do cease their light and stars aloft no longer shine

I stand with you my perfect love until the end of borrowed time

When oceans dry and arid scenes along the shores a sign shall be

The emptiness that others feel shall never come and enter me

 

As darkness falls and in my eyes I see thy glowing perfect light

I shall not fear most anything as your sweet love shall hold me tight

No pain, I swear shall touch your limbs, my heart shall beat a guarded prayer

Protecting you from lost accord and dreams that you are always there

 

A journey long of timeless day as every morning sun does rise

The beauty that my soul does need is found so deep within your eyes

As nothing else does matter in the moments that we two do live

My love shall reign eternal counting every ounce to you I give

 

For when the moments shadow with their quaking hands of empty reach

I’ll climb upon my pulpit and unto their ears my words shall preach

My open eyes shall witness darkened masses and a heavens play

While in this final breath I breathe I swear to you, to them I say

 

So bring upon your demons and your angels as they wage their war

To take my soul to places as the time has come to pay my score

For I shall stand determined that what ever fate for me doth find

My love for you shall breathe again beyond the gates of which I die
