38. Lovers

Star crossed lovers
Hands clasped as one

Excitement beyond reality
Rational reasoning cast adrift

Destiny begets hope
Religious beliefs left undone

Soft-spoken whispers romantically entwined
Priorities shifted become a small gift

Feelings heat their very souls
Emotions once forgotten given new meaning

Silent moments pass without notice
Lips full of motion but no longer meant for speech

Time becomes a phantom hidden in view
Togetherness measured by tearful departures

Star crossed lovers become as one
The meaning of happiness is in their reach
