100,000,000
You seduced me with your powers
of a hundred million favors
and held me with your sweetness
of a hundred million flavors
You loved me in your bower
of a hundred million flowers
and it seemed to last a lifetime
of a hundred million hours.
In truth, it was but moments
before we were set in showers
and poured out an ocean
of a hundred million tears
that rose on the tides
of our hundred million fears.
We were drowning in the reaches
of a hundred million creatures
hidden in our love
ready to devour.
Our hearts that once empowered
this love with faulty towers
set now, those hearts to crumbling
from a hundred million rumblings
of mistrust and misfortune.
What can save this love of ours?

So much love will last so much longer than a hundred million years.
perfectly pitched sir and without those socio-political undertones, it just wouldn't be the same now, would it... thoroughly enjoyed.... Neville
