Analysis of Eternal Love

Sherry Caayupan 1980 (Davao city)



Dare me not, I say,
For this proof's worth in undying;
Leave me not this day,
Until all the whole world all does is lying;

I've flown and fluttered about,
Like the butterfly lives for life;
Come and let me embrace your mouth,
Like a lover needs a wife;

Let this love be a lasting endless,
This love could be immortal;
Like tomorrow leaves me breathless,
Like pristine time is a portal;

Never disappear in my loving heart,
Your absolute presence is gold;
Our eternal kiss won't ever part,
Until our ebony hair is old.
