I Want A Love That Time Cannot Destroy

I want a love that Time cannot destroy

   Or nibble till there’s nothing left but scraps—

A passion full of ever-present joy

   That laughs at Time and all its silly traps.

I want a flame that will not end in ashes.

   I want a light that will not lose its glow.

I want a love the future never trashes.

   I thought that love was ours, but Time said “No.”

So I say “No!” right back.  I want Time dead.

   Time took our vows and made them all untrue—

Time proved that we were lying when we said

   “I’ll never love another soul but you.”

      Time’s a bored toddler; passion is its toy.

      There is no love that Time cannot destroy.
