“
You Are My Spring Joy
Where does life seek eternity?
Not in daily struggles or toil, but in that endearing destiny,
Where thoughts, pursuits, likings all merge to create a happy existence,
Where happiness leaps from every act and every substance.
Just like spring flowers that spread joy,
To all alike: a woman, a man, a little girl and a young boy,
They live for moments very brief,
Yet they always manage to delight the heart immersed in grief.
They last for a day or moments few,
With a promise that next year they shall bloom anew,
Leaving behind sweet memories and hopes profound,
And even in a moment of existence they live in eternity that time’s snares can not confound.
Similarly my love Irma, your smiles, your beauty nourish my existence,
You, your love, your endless beauty are what I need for sustenance,
My eternity lies in you, and only you,
Eternity will be virtueless if it is not spent thinking about you and loving you.
I seek thee with all my senses and my mind and heart,
From me the reflections of your beauty never depart,
And I lie wrapped in them day and night,
Without the glimpse of your beautiful smile I cannot establish the brightness in any form of light.
Perhaps someday the sun may not rise,
And the Moon may not shine , to me it shall be no surprise,
But for me living without loving you is not possible,
As for the Moon to shine without the Sun is impossible.
So let us be like the Sun and the moonshine,
Where both exist to create the life giving sunshine and the romantic moonshine,
Let you be the the daffodils, winter jasmine, iris, primrose ,and be merry and sing,
And I will always be the unfailing Spring, just your Spring!
