Eternal Lovers

Eternal Lovers

By Joseph Menslage

Though lovers shall be lost, their love shall not. Love is eternal. But if love is eternal, my question for you is this… When did our love first begin? To me, even before the foundations of the world were laid.

Once you meet your lover, eternal love shall you know. The kind of love that can be neither broken nor forged. A love that will transcend the ages, even the known universe itself. The kind of love that romance novels are written about and movies are made from. One that my heart knows to exist, but has not yet discovered.

As I age, and my eyes grow old, should I quit my quest, my search for thee, and settle for less? So that my parched heart may have but a drink? Or do I take a chance, maybe to die but all alone, before I discover the sweet wells deep inside of thee?

To me, the answer is but a simple one. If I am to die alone, then die alone shall I. For until the last breath has departed my lips, I shall search from the heights of the highest mountain tops; to the depths of the deepest seas; even to the four corners of the world, for the apple of mine eye.

For there is none other, that my heart could be forever true. But only for you my lover, my destiny, my future, my eternal lover… you.

Eternal Lovers

Original Poem Written By Joseph Menslage

Revised for Lyrics & Music

My lover I have lost

My love for her has not

True love is eternal

Since before our world was created.

Once you meet your lover

Eternal love shall you know

Like a star in the universe

Shadows won’t cast away its shinning light.

Like those romance novels

And those movies of old

Of a love so strong and bold

But is there one for you to discover?

Tell me my Lord

Should I surrender and cease the find

Watching sands of time pass by my life?

Should I take chances

Though my heart may bleed again

To find the sweetness of that true love?

Or am I to wait

To discover after I close my eyes

Eternal love from You I will find.

Tell me Lord, yes, tell me Lord.

For there is none other

From my heart I could utter

Like my lover forever

In my life my heart, you are eternal.

here is the poem that I wrote about God and my ex-wife Nicole Helms, who died over the weekend. I still loved her with all of my heart and always believed that God would allow us to remarry some day. I am the only parent my four kids now have so pray for my strength.

For there is none other, that my heart could be forever true. But only for you my lover, my destiny, my future, my eternal lover… you.
