Time Stopped.

Time stopped when i first beheld you...
When Angels filled the air with hymns of love and joy...
When the frothing sea embraced the pristine coast...
When the quinquirem sailed into the sheltered harbour.

Time stopped when we touched each other's hearts...
when deep within we stirred the silent promise...
when our vow to love was stronger than any
iron-strengthened contract.

Time stopped when life pulled me away...
led me through darkened chambers...
lightless catacombs
hordes of vicious inner demons.

Time stopped when the winds of fate...
blew me to a foreign land...
where i stood,
not alone
but lonely.

without you.
