Thou art the mistress of my heart <br />I like it not when we’re apart. <br />I glory in thy company. <br />Without thee then my life would be <br /> devoid of purpose or intent. <br />Know thou my love is permanent. <br />I know full well thou lovest me. <br />‘Tis plain for all the world to see. <br />We walk together hand in hand <br /> thy slightest wish is my command <br />We are well marched and close attached. <br />Like two nestlings from one egg hatched <br />Where thou art there I will be <br />I will not leave thee willingly <br /> <br />Though death will come, a certainty <br /> for each of us separately <br />as he has often done before. <br />We do not fear him anymore <br />Although we know one must be left <br />alone grief stricken and bereft <br />But only temporarily <br /> true love will last eternally. <br />We know that death is not the end <br />and on that knowledge we depend. <br />To give us strength to bear the pain. <br /> Until the time we meet again <br /> and reunite a severed soul. <br />Two halves will blend to make one whole, <br /> <br /> <br /> http: // blog.my space.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alter-ego-for-my-lady-irene/
