Footprints in the sand

Poetry isn't really my forte but here's something I wrote today -
For Elaine

Footprints in the sand
Though time moves on for us it's frozen
Love is trapped in time with you
That precious hourglass lies beside me
What darkness culls, each day renews
Curved and carved into perfection
You're magnetic to my eyes and ears
Our pulsing hearts pound out the seconds
Days and weeks but never years
Each morning breathes new verve into us
Not comfortable but fresh each time
You're enigmatic and in fury hating
Lioness and pussycat combined
You are my ageless timeless love
You're sometimes up and down sometimes
You leave no footprints in the sand
But always make them in my mind.
