Eternal Beloved, I have missed you
You walk in beauty through my life
But I am too late to see you
Why can we not tear down
the wall that separates us,
So that we can be happy,
So happy, together?
I know in my heart that I cannot
love another, although I do try
But the pining affections I am given
Cannot satisfy
Then I must wait
For I shall not break her heart
Because of my love for you
When the gates of Heaven open,
You will find me there
We shall live in peace
Finding love for one another
Unburdened by the pain
of Living Here
This poem is based on the passion and angst of Beethoven in his love for his immortal beloved. It reflects on the struggles and obstacles to love both in relationships and in what is known as forbidden love. My Eternal Beloved is someone I would wait for Heaven to see again if I had too.
