Sunset Love


All that I am
or have ever been
is in me now
The wisdom of my years
the passion of my youth
are embraced
to make me one
in true intimacy
with you.

I have learned
with joy and gratitude
an exhilarating truth
that I can love again
just one more time
and everything I know
everything I am
is given to you now
my sunset love

My sorrows and my joys
My failings recognised
My journey’s lessons learned
Have made me realise
How generous is your love
That sees me as I am
Not how I’d like to be
From my imprisoned self
Your love has set me free

You are my un-guilted joy
beyond ethics beyond sin
you are my evening sun
all my soul shall need
my thrill of life each day
the solace of my sleep
and when we meet again
beyond the sky among the stars
we shall be as one
