Analysis of Aeternam Amor (Latin for Everlasting Love)



In this world I am but a man,
Crossed with confusion and stooped with dearth.
But with your love and inspiration I stand,
And rise to a vantage between Heaven and Earth.

On this podium I see crystal clear,
So that I can carry on without fear.
Into the unknown I can venture with hope,
And live out the words that poets wrote.

Like the architect of an enduring design,
I will construct a love of everlasting shine.
And like the blacksmith of a great sword,
I will forge a bond others can work towards.

Resembling a soldier with bold alliance,
This union will complete the voyage and wage war upon defiance.
Until the time comes to journey above,
And then forever strong will remain our love.
