Poetry list
till death do us part
I never realised what
this truly meant
it’s over
and in this life
you’re on your own
again
but I am no longer
I
my consciousness is
formed by
sacramental union
an ecstasy and
a constant
waking and perhaps
e’en sleeping
I am yours and
you are mine
the presence of God
and the joys of love
eternal
are mediated through
this gateway
and union
grief is a new
inadequate reality
because that is what
I wish and know
to be true
no will to change
to a world where it
is as though
you have never been
for in me you
are my always and
for ever
there is no death
I
cannot be parted
utterly lost
completely found
nothing
but the
ravishing madness of
love
