Array ( [sid] => 8295 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Before My Death [time] => 2002-12-09 20:30:00 [hometext] => (written in Villanelle form) [bodytext] => Before my death I would like to impart:
Though my love for you had never been planned
I will keep you with me inside my heart.

It is within this hour that I must part
My hourglass is running out of sand.
Before my death I would like to impart:

We will never completely be apart
I promised to love you forever and
I will keep you with me inside my heart.

I can recall the day my love did start
The feelings I felt when you touched my hand.
Before my death I would like to impart:

Infinite stars Astronomers can chart
But my love for you is just far too grand.
I will keep you with me inside my heart.

The time has come now for me to depart.
With the last breath that makes my lungs expand;
Before my death I would like to impart
I will keep you with me inside my heart.
