Eternally

I met you
after wandering
in the fog
I loved you madly
and without measure.
You were ray of sunshine
that burned my soul
and in my mind
you sowed life
and dreams.
You were
beam of light
and hope
and with crimson glow
you brightened
my white nights
of delirium.
My heart palpitates
when I think of you
and each fiber
of my being
vibrates
when in silence
 I whisper
I love you...
You are
trapped
in my heart
and eternally
I will be captive
of your love,
until the fatal day
of my death.
