Eons Faraway Poem by Tina Baaklini

My love,

In eons and eons faraway
The earth may go astray
The sun may fade away
But you and I together we'll stay

You're my treasure and rapture
We're one heart and soul, never to end in rupture
Our souls have the same hiding places
Your heart's embrace is my endless grace

The alphabet is not enough
Dictionaries are not enough
Languages are not enough
To convey to you my love

Yet love ought to be proven indeed
For words without deeds
Is like a woman in love with the sea
Keeps praising it while standing on the shore

The sea hears the woman
But doesn't feel her beating heart
Neither does the woman feel
The sea's warm and tinkling water
Nor does she sway with its waves
Nor delve deeper at its rock bottom
And dark places that have never seen the light

So love may start with eloquent words
But requires consistent eloquent deeds afterwards
