MELANCHOLY MIND

" To Reanty Ali, the love of my life"
This melancholy mind lived in love-less despair
Seeing you, this wayfarer's labyrinth suddenly disappeared,
God is peace, joy, happiness and unending love
I question not that this love came from above

All of my years stealing apace, I awoke with sorrows
But knowing you, I live and look for better tomorrows,
Is it strange that my heart chose to love you?
For in matters of the heart, we can't tell it what to do

Of the few women that have been in my life
I feel certain, that ours would have no strife,
Disappointments cause your disposition to reflect forlorn
But just one of your smiles, and the forlorn is gone

We have a blessed and precious relationship
But we must always allow God the stewardship,
We know not what the tomorrows hold for us
But trusting in God is definitely a must

Living in this world that seems to have gone so mad
Condoning this love, certainly can't be bad,
So I give you my heart no matter what you do
And for your happiness, I will always love you...

Author's Comments:
"After God, there is no greater gift than to be in love. It inspires us to live and enjoy life, always looking for better tomorrows. "Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of  themselves . Love, therefore, is its own reward." [THOMAS MERTON]"
