yet again words
                   to embolden our tie,
to mark the plenitude,
                              to touch
the wonder,
               milestones of memory
on the way
              to the future,
where we will build
                       a temple of love
on the ruins
            of the past,
finally forgotten
                 in our new eden.
kindness of fate
                unexpected,
no longer forbidden
                           by the gods
the fruit of the tree
                     of knowledge
ripens our feelings,
                            making eden
our Olympus,
                the heights of happiness
we have been allowed
                        to inhabit.
