The Edge of Life

From sandy beaches

to the mountains and the snow,

from endless sunrise,

we travel to the edge

of everlasting alpenglow.

With you, my darling,

I shall journey

through happiness and pain,

because you are my one and only,

And that forever you’ll remain.

You fight your own demons

as I keep fighting mine,

but then as we rise,

to face our mornings,

we realize the sun again will shine.

Bodies tangled in our warm bed

on your sculpted chest I lay my weary head,

we are here today, right now,

please, please, place your hands on me,

as only you know how.

And believe me when I say I know,

that this poem is as corny as they go,

but, today, this very moment, it is me,

  this is how I feel,

and this is how I want to be.
