You need not burn old bridges <br />to keep me by your side. <br />The sun anoints your smile <br />and the moon dwells in your eyes <br /> <br />No road has ever taken me <br />to this place where all my dreams come true <br />No pain could ever cut so deep, <br />to think our love was through. <br /> <br />At times, nightmares awaken me, <br />in a panic I reach to touch your hair <br />Your breathing reassures my tears, <br />Just knowing that you are there. <br /> <br />If the stars fall from the heavens <br />and angels forget how to pray, <br />if the ground demands our presence <br />and they carry us away <br />Mix our ashes in a bottle <br />and cast us to the sea. <br />Let us ride the tides of love <br />for all eternity.<br /><br />Bill Cantrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tides-of-love/
