MG & SA ~ Sempiternal

A humble vaudevillian veteran and his aficionado,

Not ashamed to pronounce their love in exhibitions of bravado.

Upon their aspects lay masks of the unknown,

Yet it is clear that secrets neither condone.

No enigmas are hid between the entwined lovers;

Lovers between which Cupid eternally hovers.

A Prince of a man with his heart set straight,

A young gal blessed by the Goddess Fate.

No time too long, no distance too far for the two,

No mystery together they cannot construe.

Separate they might tumble and cry,

Yet together they shall forever soar and fly.

For it is love like this that makes the heart burn,

For it is love like this that the rest of us yearn.
