My star shines with yours
as pieces find each other in puzzle
my star located yours in milky way
as liquid flows freely from a nozzle
my star shines with yours today, everyday
sealed with a kiss, forever and a day
hand in hand, my heartbeat to your heartbeat
I am the one that you now so complete
this love shall be evergreen as the oak
in this lifetime and the next on repeat
our love shall be as smooth as rich kapok.
I will spend my always loving you
and I will spend my always loving you
for you are a gift that keeps on giving
day by day our love always feels so new
I’ll love you as long as I keep living
for you are my joy and my thanksgiving
ever blessed be the day our paths crossed
and blessed be the day our fortunes tossed
my cosmic charm and forever lover
your name on my heart, forever embossed,
your love is my rest, home and forever.
Vow
I make this vow to you with all my soul
for you alone, my true heart beats and bleeds
I give you my all, both pieces and whole
withholding nothing, love reigns, supersedes
everything, birthing, watering great seeds
precious, it can neither be bought nor sold
love is virtue, it is worth more than gold
on the day when I found you, I found life
meaning, way and warmth when seasons grow cold
I found you, I found love and found a wife.
To love and to evolve
to always show kindness do I promise:
to love fiercely, consistently, truly
in manner of speech, action, compromise
patiently as your dreams gradually
evolves in substance, strength and steadily
to build with you, life, dreams into fruition
to raise a family, have dominion.
to be your partner when in need of one
to love you without any condition
to be for you, a shoulder to lean on.
