ONCE NOW AND FOREVER

The Ashé emanated from her soul,
Pure gold

Gleamed inside her fantastical eyes.
No lies
I wasn't obligated to worship this temple on bent knees.
Please
I did so willingly, religiously.

Daily praise.
Daughter of sacred maize
Drinking from her cup
Eating of her bread.
It was Holy Communion.
A blessed Union

I didn't have to look deep, to see the halo
Or feel the contour of her back for wings,
To know she was an angel
a piece of heaven on earth.
Immaculate birth like miracle

Didn't have to
Lock, through oath and ring, this union.
That lifetimes couldn't sever
Since, we were already bonded
Fused by spirit and time
Endless storyline
We ain't perfect but we're perfect together
Always
Once, now and forever.

Once now and Forever
This is some eternal love
Life is our treasure
Yes, This be immortal love

You know... when you can feel the warmth of the sun,
In each other's embrace...
See the shape of god in her face

When you become each other's religion;
Each body a temple
Worshiped with devotion.
It's Energy in motion

When you no longer have to wonder
What heaven is like.
When each moment in her arms
Is paradise

When you understand resurrection of joy
Ascension into bliss.
Tasting the nectar of Oshun on her lips

When you can gaze the universe
In each other's eyes,and get there.
Without wings
Walking on air

When you get
How the moon effects the oceans,
How the clouds mesh with sky.
How time stands still
When you look into each other's eyes

When you find yourself, at times apart,
Wishing you could be each other's shadow.
Knowing if armies came against her
You would swiftly ride into battle

When not one wonder in this world
Can match the taste of each other's lips.
When even the sun can't match the heat
Of your lovers bliss

When together
You see forever with eyes shut.
You know this
There's no option better
Because no matter what
Me and you together
Are Once, now and forever.

Once now and Forever
This is some eternal love
Life is our treasure
Yes, This be immortal love

I, the sun, you, the moon.
Together creating gravitational forces that makes waves.
Over us Stars swoon

The warmth of our passion affects the world around us
Melting ice off hearts that begged proof of loves existence.
No resistance.

We welcomed each other's heart in our realms
King sun.
Queen moon.
Majestic monarchs of self.

Triangulating love.
The nucleus of circles.
Sun, moon, ocean.
Love potion number 7 and 8
Yemaya and Obatala
Time and space
Stands still when we make love
We're the proof heaven ain't just above

I light your day, as you illuminate my night.
No void.
We meld together
Like pen and write

This...
All that we are
Is the formula for eternity.
We weather the storms
And we storm the weather
This is Eternal love
Once, now and forever.

Once now and Forever
This is some eternal love
Life is our treasure
Yes, This be immortal love
