I'll Never Stop Loving You

Long gone, but never forgotten

tucked away in a place so hardened by time

and yet surrounded by a soft shell of your gentle spirit

lost among the moon-lit skies over a cold ocean

and not even that could keep us apart

for "'I'll never stop loving you.

Your warm large hands holding mine as we walked the endless boardwalk

toward a horizon that never ended

beyond the sifted sand and sounds of the gulls upon a deserted beach

that bespoke our names

as the waters come and left

and the tides felt our presence

through hopes so elaborate

that drifted slowly away

as you did on a hot summer's morning.

And as they declared that it was over

the orange dog howled for his loss..and

I sat stone faced and unbelieving

that you-my hero was gone

and knowing deep in my heart

that "I'll never stop loving you.

And all our tomorrows have turned into unfilled promises

that have grown yellow with age

like all else...a sense that  while there will be endless  tomorrows

they matter little-for you are not here,

only living deep within a broken heart

that beats for the sake of beating

and yet grieves forever more

I loved you then, I love you now

and eternally so-I will never stop loving you.
