Like Musketeers of Old
by kenny merrell

I saw a thin line appear in the worry zone of your face
I wanted to reach up and wipe it from your brow
What ever happened to that fierce love we shared
Where being apart even a second was pure agony
Over the years a new love has grown
Keeping a love of intense fire
Which flickered as it burned
Now, it has become one of steady intensity
Each year a new fuel has kept it burning
Lovers then friends then lovers again
Each crisis of life adds another piece of armor
To our love affair
One for each other our motto be
Like musketeers of old
Show me the beauty of your aura once more
Let the flickering colors continue
Look at me with the desire in your eyes
Hold me tight within your sanctuary
Calm these fears of losing you to that cruel fate of death
May we continue in the afterlife as one soul
Together ever more
