ours

Auspiciously eternal
Effortlessly here
Your accumulating smile
Over minute, day, and year

Gloom and rage recoil in
The sunlight of your grace
Gleaming eyes reflect the awe
That dominates my face

I cannot tip the goblet far
And drink down love complete
So every moment here and on
A rationed sip of sweet

And totaled at the end
We'll count what good arose
From every moment that we spent
Within those thrilling throes

And so I'll read your smile
And so you'll read my prose
And each of us
Will stow in us
A we that no one knows
