Love Abides

The world where love abides,
Where sounds of anxious crowds reside,
Your words have pushed aside

Your single glimpse can send
The rest away as we commend
This place our own pretend

The place you tell your tale
And world, whose claims between assail,
Is lost in your regale

Lost time in tiger’s fur
Where laughter fills in, hearts concur;
Like strokes, a kitten’s purr.

Our love those strokes have known,
In every word’s express has shown,
This world is us alone
